Pinole Peacocks: Photos Of The Day

PINOLE, CA — Have you seen the peacocks in Pinole, Diane Springer asks?

She tells Patch, "There are approximately 20 of them on this family estate. In the past week or so, they’ve been doing the mating dance and it’s so interesting to watch. Sometimes you’ll see one of the males up in a tree, overseeing his domain. The estate is on Adobe Road, right behind the fire station in Pinole Valley. I love watching them."

Sounds like it's worth checking out this weekend. Thanks for the tip and photos, Diane!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we’d love to feature it on Patch.

We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
