  • Blue Penguin, Otago Peninsula, New Zealand
    Blue Penguin 02.jpg
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The awe-inspiring Milky Way bears semblance to a celestial flipper, reaching out to a solitary penguin standing on a rocky outcrop in the Curio Bay Fossil Forest.  With a declining population of less than 5000, the endangered Yellow-eyed Penguin is one of the world’s rarest penguins, and found only in New Zealand.<br />
<br />
Protecting our night sky from light pollution is not simply for the sake of humans, but also for our wildlife.  Although research of penguins’ orientation at night is still in its infancy, scientists believe that birds rely not only magnetism but also the stars and celestial rotation.
