Field Notes

Description:

Mostly mistaken for a Penguins, this black and white sea bird can fly. Black head, back and wings and white undersides. A specialist told me that after breeding, eventually the female takes off when the young is big enough, the male takes over the responsibility of rearing the immature birds.

Habitat:

found on rocky shores or at sea.
