We spent the later part of the afternoon of Friday, January 13, 2012, birding in Pucusana, a fishing village located 60 Kilometers south of Lima on the western coast of Peru bordering the Pacific Ocean. Brad photographed a Humboldt Penguin, Spheniscus humboldti, as it frolicked in the ocean. This is a medium-sized penguin with a proportionately large black head. A white border runs from behind the eye, around the black ear-coverts and chin, and joins at the throat. Underparts are whitish. A black breast-band extends down the flanks to the thigh. The bill is black with a white band near the tip. The lower mandible has a pink, fleshy colored base. The tongue has spines which are used to hold prey. Our group took a path from near Pucusana's fishing port that led to a cliff area overlooking the ocean. From this vantage point we could look down at roosting birds and the Pacific Ocean. Temperatures were in the mid-80's with bright, sunny skies and high humidity.
