penguins

We have two kinds of penguins around Dunedin: blue penguins and yellow-eyed penguins. Our houseguest last week got some great photos of both, and she gave me permission to use them. The first photo is of a blue penguin, and the rest are yellow-eyed. The last item is a video she took of a yellow-eyed penguin swimming. I've never seen one swimming, so I loved it. We've seen lots of blue penguins swimming, and they look like a cross between a duck and a fish, darting through the water.

The way that penguin was stretching out looked like it was trying to catch some rays--working on its tan or storing up vitamin D!

How amazing to see penguins outside the Woodland Park Zoo.
