Way down south at the Otway Sound and Penguin Reserve in Chile
Then it’s down the path for a little socializing with friends on the beach .
Of course there is time for some much needed preening on the way home.
Far to the east lie the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic . Here too, Magellanic Penguins live in burrows above the rocky beach.
It doesn’t look like a comfortable place for a nap, but a quick swim is
nearby and it is close to home.
Some of their neighbors opted for a more idyllic locale, with a sandy beach in a beautiful cove.
On a different part of the island their cousins Rockhopper Penguins are cliff dwellers far above the ocean.
They definitely have a rockier time making a home of it here.
With so little to make a nest on top of the rocks and neighbors constantly stealing what few twigs there are,
why it’s enough to make any girl scream!
And as we all know, if momma isn’t happy, nobody’s happy.
When dad finally gets the work done, momma can get comfortable,
which makes life so much better for dad.
Better that is, except for the nosy neighbors, who are nothing but a bunch of gossips
that can’t wait to share the latest juicy bits of news.
