This photo was taken at a huge colony located on Right Whale Bay where many of the King Penguins were in varying stages of moulting. During moulting the birds can not go to sea. They stand near the stream/water to keep cool.
I don't usually change items I post for the scavenger hunt, but my son gave me this for my birthday and it's so much cuter than the Green Bay Packers knit cap!

The Galapagos Penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is the rarest penguin species in the world.
I snorkeled all around these babies and they are like bullets in the water!!
They are the third smallest species of penguin. The average Galapagos Penguin is 49 centimetres (19 in) long and 2.5 kilograms (5.5 lb) in weight.
The species is endangered, with an estimated population size of around 1,500 individuals in 2004, according to a survey by the Charles Darwin Research Station.
The population underwent an alarming decline of over 70% in the 1980s, but is slowly recovering.
There are less than 1000 breeding pairs of Galapagos Penguins in the world.

I used the some rescued white rippled paper on this card. A large sheet of it came with a display for the store where I work. I just couldn't let it go to waste...
The stamp is an Inkadinkado.
