Humboldt penguin  (Spheniscus humboldti)

This species is found along the coasts of Peru and Chile within the reaches of the Humboldt Current. Some birds have been recorded as vagrants northwards off Columbia (2). There are also isolated colonies further to the south on the Punihuil Islands (3).

Humboldt penguins nest on rocky coasts and islands with suitable terrain for constructing nest burrows (2) (7).
