Help! Young peacock in tree in TERRIBLE snowstorm

[peachick]

I got in on this thread late. But, I am in MD and we got hit hard by that snow storm.... at least 2 feet here.
The peacocks weaathered it just fine. The smart ones used their buildings (about half of them). The free range birds stayed on top of the buildings or up in thier usual tree. During the storm I went out with the camera.... this is my bronze pair with a midnight hen with snow on their backs.

Wow Peachick! THANKS for sharing the picture. Maybe next time, if there ever is a next time, I won't worry quite so much. Of course, mine have been sheltered all their lives.... even from rain.

And we do have that Great Horned Owl to think about. Thanks for confirming that as a threat, Deerman. That was why we started putting our guineas up at night, because the Great Horned was taking one out of the tree every third night. But I didn't know they would take the big birds too. Wow!! I wish the owl would get the weasel!!!
