This photograph of an Imperial Shag swimming was taken as we hiked along the shore of George Island on the morning of January 5, 2007. This island is situated at the southern entrance to Falkland Sound and, along with nearby Barren Island, forms the southernmost working farm on the Falkland Islands. George Island is free of introduced rodents and provides visitors with a good range of wildlife. The Imperial Shag is a marine bird that breeds in large colonies on flat islands. It is black above and entirely white below including its entire foreneck and throat. The adult has yellowish caruncles in front of its eyes and a vivid blue orbital ring. Temperatures on this partly cloudy, very windy day were in the low 50's.
