Yep. That Was a Peacock On The Highway 4 Escambia River Bridge.

Yes, that was a peacock on the Highway 4 Escambia River Bridge between Jay and Century.

Numerous NorthEscambia.com readers sent us photos and contacted us after seeing the peacock strolling along in the emergency lane of the bridge.

We are told the owner has been missing the colorful bird for a while. But when they tried to retrieve the peacock from the bridge, it flew into nearby trees. At last report, the peacock was not yet home.

    They are very fickle. If not kept penned, they wander off.

    My folks used to live in Pasadena, CA. There are flocks of wild peacocks as well as parrots there.
