Peachicks come again to Sonora

The baby peachicks have arrived at the Sonoran home of Uma and Reba as they do every spring. Lucky, an almost white peachick, was abandoned by its mother and now allows Reba and Uma to share its house. He comes to help with our Open Mike sessions on Saturday mornings sometimes.

Sheltered-in-place means we will miss our annual pilgrimage to Sonora to see the arrival of peachicks. Lucky, an abandoned runt, has been frequenting our Saturday morning Open Mike sessions of the Lemonade Sangha. Since we are quarantined in Sanger, we can only share photos that Uma and Reba have sent us, but let’s hope next year will be better. It looks like there was a bumper crop. Reba counted how many hens and chicks were settling in, but I lost count. It sounded like 20-30. They will not all make it to adulthood, but it looks like there will be a lot of peacocks in Sonora.
