DescriptionThis image depicts a juvenile peacock and an adult turkey at the Zoon in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The birds are on opposite sides of a chicken wire fence. The turkey can only be seen through the fence. The peacock is dark in color and does not have very long tail or head plumage yet. It is facing the left side of the frame. On the peacock's side of the fence is the trunk of a large tree. The turkey is full grown and has all of its large tail plumage. It is facing the right side of the frame. This photograph was marked with a grease pencil. A square was grown around the peacock and the word "FLOP" was written above it.
