Riding The Waves A Gentoo Penguin glides the Falkland Islands’ surf. It was riding the waves. The Gentoo like all of their kind are made to fly submerged.Masters of the swim they fly … below but do emerge.When it’s time to come ashore the penguin shows technique.Catches it and rides a wave, its surfing style’s unique. ~ Anecdote, Poem and Gentoo Penguin capture, Riding The Waves © Jerry L.

The Rockhopper Penguin at the far right [in submissive pose] had just picked its way through established nesting sites in the colony. It went through a good amount of trauma in the process receiving opposition from members of the clan. Here, it is being aggressively confronted and was truly “catching hell”. Catching Hell This morn it ran the gauntlet through others’ nesting sites. Perhaps its sole intention was to pilfer neighbors’ rights. Instead it met resistance, demeanors did quite swell. This is what it means for those who end up catching hell. ~ Rockhopper Penguin capture and poem, Catching Hell © Jerry L. Ferrara. New Island, Falkland Islands.
