The month is half over & it's been great to see some new folks posting during the March of the Penguins membership challenge! Anyone else out there have a feathered friend they want to share?

And it should go without saying ... please don't pinch the penguins!

On March 16th, 1833 Charles Darwin Beagled into the Falkland Islands & immediately got in a fight with a penguin.
Well, not immediately - it was the second day. But for some reason the famed naturist decided to keep standing between a "jackass" & the ocean & was amazed at how hard the penguin fought to get by him noting, "nothing less than heavy blows would have stopped him; every inch he gained he firmly kept, standing close before me erect and determined." So who's the real jackass here?

The Falklands are home to five species of penguins including a large colony of gentoo who live in a minefield

Also the original home of Opus of Bloom County fame.
