17jun_guillemots

My heart just melted, I love penguins!!! Love all the black and white!

What a totally cool picture! Those are common murres though, not penguins, right? We have some at our aquarium, but I'd love to see them on their eggs like that. ETA: Hah, British English calls them guillemots, American English, murres (in American English, the guillemots are a different bird).

@heathert in British English they are known as common guillemots. "The common murre or common guillemot is a large auk. It is also known as the thin-billed murre in North America." Wikipedia And they are definitely different from penguins, though I see how at a glance you could make a mistake, I was taking the pics from the top of the cliff, and didn't see the eggs until I saw them on the computer screen. So excited.

@heathert Talking of American vs British English, what's ETA? In B.E. it's Estimated time of arrival, though I think you meant something else Thanks

@zinzilah Oh, sorry--yes, usually it means that, but in this context it was "edited to add" =)

I love the use of the triangle for the photo. Everything about this page is so cool. I really like the together word art in the corner.

I'm so glad you explained what the creatures were and circled the eggs! I thought they were penguins as first, and I learned something new! It looks so cool and I love the triangle shape! Thanks for playing along!
