  • After returning from sea at dusk, a pair of yellow-eyed penguins ascend the coastal cliff for shelter from the battering waves. Their quiet ritual of mutual preening helps reinforce pair bonds, as well as conditioning their feathers with preen oil from a gland found at the tip of their tails.<br />
<br />
Despite rigorous conservation efforts, the endangered yellow-eyed penguin has dwindled to a mere 166 breeding pairs on the mainland of New Zealand.<br />
<br />
Ongoing threats persist from both marine and terrestrial ecosystems, consisting of overfishing, bycatch in fishing nets, destruction of the sea floor via bottom-trawling, disease, loss of habitat on land, and climate change.

  • Underwater split shot of kelp along the coast of Stewart Island

  • After foraging out in the Pacific Ocean, an endangered yellow-eyed penguin comes ashore to dry its wet feathers on an ancient petrified forest at Curio Bay, New Zealand.  The tide pools reflect the green glow of a shooting star and the radiance of the Aurora Australis, while the Milky Way stretches above.<br />
<br />
Offshore foraging trips will draw the yellow-eyed penguin up to 15 miles away from land, while evening trips can range up to 4 miles.  Clear skies expose celestial cues by which even non-migratory birds calibrate their magnetic compass.  This compass is used in conjunction with visual landmarks as well as olfactory and acoustic cues to help the penguin to navigate.
