Are there any penguins in north American continent?

Yes, there are penguins in the North American continent. The northernmost nesting colony of penguins in the world is located on Mitlenatch Island, Alaska, in the Prince William Sound. This colony is home to the tufted puffin (Fratercula cirrhata), a species of seabird in the auk family. Tufted puffins are black and white birds with distinctive yellow crests on their heads. They nest in burrows on the island and feed on fish, squid, and other marine invertebrates.
