To my knowledge, no penguin reports have been accepted in North America or Europe.
Several years ago, in preparing information for our WBRC review of the Humboldt Penguin sighting in WA [in 2011], I solicited info on penguin sightings. Here?s what I compiled - again, all of unaccepted or unreviewed records. The Washington reports are tabled at present, pending later review.
Pacific:

Alaska:

? Humboldt Penguin ? 18 July 2002 ? see NAB 56, p 402 for details



British Columbia:

? Humboldt Penguin: 1978 Vancouver Island

? Humboldt Penguin 1944 at Haida Gwaii (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands), British Columbia



Washington:

? Humboldt Penguin - 21 August 2011 Willoughby Rock, Grays Harbor [currently under consideration

? 1985 off Washington

? 1984 May & June ? at Willoughby Rock

? Humboldt Penguin: 1975 near Long Beach, Washington



Oregon: confirmed no reports reviewed



California:

? Jackass Penguin: 3-16 Feb 1981 ? Pt. Reyes, Marin County ? Bill Pullman



El Salvador:

? Magellenic Penguin ? 7 June 2007 ? Ahuachapan Department, El Zaite beach.



Panama:

? Galapagos Penguin [no date/location info gathered]



Columbia:

? Humboldt Penguin [no date/location info gathered]



Atlantic/Gulf Coast:

Rhode Island ? confirmed no reports reviewed

Maryland/DC ? confirmed no reports reviewed

Pennsylvania ? confirmed no reports reviewed

Mississippi ? confirmed no reports reviewed

[in addition to those who did respond explicitly, we know of no other reports or mentions from anywhere on east coast]

Europe: confirmed no reports
