Island Cove with a Macaroni Penguin
The illustration showcases a macaroni penguin with a prominent yellow crest standing beside a nest and broad seaweed. Rough ocean waves break around large rocks in the background, where a natural rock arch spans over the sea.
Distinctive Feathers of the Macaroni Penguin
Macaroni penguins are famous for their golden-yellow crests that originate on the forehead and sweep back over their eyes. English sailors in the eighteenth century named the species after a stylish fashion trend that involved wearing elaborate feathers in hats. These seabirds spend months at sea after breeding, traveling vast ocean distances without returning to land.

- Back and wings: dark bluish-black upper plumage
