Magellanic Penguins range all over coastal Patagonia including Argentina, Chile and the Falklands. They have many different plumages depending on age. They were in breeding condition when we were there with many chicks and young birds.

Young bird.
Juvenile.
The breeding colonies were up on a cliff side which I suppose protects them from predators, but you have to wonder how many chicks go tumbling down.
