Pinguins?

  • Pingu2007 by Pingu2007

    I tried to mark the birds in this picture but I am not sure if they are all penguins. It seems some of them have a very long neck for a penguin? But when I press the other button I donut find a bird that resembles this one either.

    Ah... @Pingu2007 , that tells me you need to read the FAQ section. 😉 Look at FAQ 6 to learn these are cormorants. They are fish eaters, and nest alongside the penguins at several sites. FAQ6 shows how to tell the difference between cormorants and Chinstrap penguins.

    At this site they nest near Gentoo penguins and you can see both adult (white faces and fronts) and young (fluffy brown.) There is one moulting Gentoo penguin down in front on the right. When you can't be sure if you are looking at a penguin or something else, please don't mark it. We only mark what we're sure of. Does that help? 😃

    Mark any unlisted animal as "Other", then "OK"- do not select a species.
