Anyone missing a peacock? Spotted one on Merritt Rd this evening

Just went for a walk around 8:00 PM today along Merritt Rd between Munger and Carpenter, and to our complete surprise, we ran into an actual peacock just hanging out near the road.

It looked healthy and wasn't causing trouble, but it definitely seemed out of place wandering so close to traffic.

Posting here in case:

  1. It belongs to a nearby hobby farm or resident and wandered off.

  2. Drivers in the area need a heads-up to watch out for it at dusk.

Did a double-take to make sure we weren't hallucinating, but it’s 100% out there. Hopefully the owner tracks it down safely!
