Little Blue penguins taking a rest in the shade at the Cincinnati Zoo.


Inside the bird house, a pair of Rockhopper penguins...


...and here's one with a cormorant...


...and one in a crowd of King penguins (all of whom had names like BB King, Burger King, et al).


Little blue penguins swimming.


And the penguin in the Wings of Wonder show.

Thanks so much! I am jealous of your summer -- hope you and Ship's Company have a great time!

Rockhoppers are my favourite penguins. Pity we can't get the sound on LJ because they make one huge racket when they screech at each other.

There are a few pairs at our local zoo and they are so sweet when they groom each other and do a kind of racuous bonding song-and-dance.

the screaming rockhoppers at my local zoo are hysterical. :D i'm still a gentoo girlie, but the rockhoppers can't be beat for the screeching.
