During the 2006 circumnavigation of the Scotia Sea, we encountered 7 different species of penguin. The largest species that we saw was the King penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus. Other species included the Rock Hopper, the Gentoo, the Adelie, the Macaroni, the Chin Strap, and the Magellanic. Several breeding colonies of the King penguin were located on the islands of South Georgia. It was estimated that there were at least 300,000 the adults, plus 75,000 chicks, on the Salisbury Plain beach alone!
Birds of Ontario
Over the last few years, I have taken up more of an interest in birds, as the main focus of an intimate wildlife image, rather than a small integral part of a larger nature scene. Most of these birds I was able to capture along the Toronto area waterfront. Enjoy!
