Helpful Posts: I was standing at the top of a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at Punta Tombo, Argentina, and enjoying a small group of Magellanic Penguins when a family of Reas walked right by. I was stunned. Two flightless species just a few feet from me. Can you tell which way the wind was blowing and estimate how hard?

Sometimes you just gotta be there. The wind blows right to left. You owe me a lollypop if I'm correct

Re: Two Flightless Species of Birds
Wind pretty much from the north (NE? if late morning) gusting to about 10 knots although the lack of small waves indicates it is calmer. I would like a chocolate fish.

Re: Two Flightless Species of Birds
How about estimating the height of the Reas? Nicely captured.
