The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

Cormorants are not penguins

But they have white bellies

And dark backs

So people sometimes get confused

Even though they have long necks

They live on snow capped mountains

Actually those are cormorant poo capped mountains

But it’s still pretty cold

Because they’re all the way down at the tip of South America

They can fly

And penguins can’t

And they like seaweed.

There were a lot of birds in Ushuaia

Some of them were gulls.

Some of them were geese

Upland Geese

The girls are brown

The area was very pretty

The seagulls were pretty too.

The cormorants were weird

But they are always weird

Birds fly

Except when they walk.

Kerri is tired.

The Gentoo Penguins hang out further from the beach

They make their nests of rocks

All together in the bare patch

They have orange beaks

And no pink around the eyes

And little white flecks in their face

And spikey tail feathers

That stick out behind them for balance

When they’re not lying on their tubby bellies

Which they do most of the time.

Lying on their white bellies makes them all muddy.
