It's always exciting when the first penguin photos come back from the polar ships' southern hemisphere season. King and rockhopper penguins were spotted by field staff in Patagonia and the Falkland Islands this week. But penguins weren't the only beautiful birds in this week's photos from the field. From the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand to the endemic scrub jay of Channel Islands National Park, feathered friends featured prominently.  Get Inspired By Photos, Videos, Webinars, Stories, And Exclusive Offers.
