This African Penguin looking up at me on a beach outside Cape Town a few years ago is making a strong bid to be featured in today’s #BirdOfTheDay themes of #WideOpenWings and #NoBranch!

An African Penguin, showing its white belly flanked by black “tuxedo jacket” a black and white collar, and a white eyebrow over a black-masked head, is looking up towards camera with its wings held aloft.

A #DoubleCrestedCormorant with wings spread. Unlike most water birds, cormorants lack the ability to waterproof their feathers. This helps their diving, but they have to dry their feathers for flying.
