Photo-Finish Friday -- Fuzzies Edition

Baby Rockhopper Penguins of the Falkland Islands




We were fortunate to see many varieties of penguin during our South American cruise. The timing was such that the babies were out and about, but still fuzzy.

Athough many were rapidly losing the fluff in favor of adult feathers, these were still in full fuzzhood.

Hilary, Rockhoppers are adorable when they hop about.
