What a week it's been for us penguininos. Our Juliet and Romeo have been the perfect pair of parents. Dividing their time between getting food for the chicks and feeding them, the parents have been equally protective. Notice Juliet here as she sees an approaching petrel.
Parents pose as they brood their chicks in a nearly ecstatic position, with their backs to the wind.
Here, Juliet and our Romeo, sit in silent reflection. They are so very beautiful.
The next three pix are snaps caught by our friend, Ed, over at Nature Cams. The chicks show a natural curiosity and of course, they make little chick noises to let their parent know that they are hungry.
The chicks are already beginning to fill out. It won't be long until they will not "fit" beneath mom or dad.
One chick is definitely awake and calling.
Nicely fluffed, the chicks find more warmth beneath the parent's belly.
And this one, was a lucky grab for me. This is Romeo feeding one of his charges.
This last one is also from Ed. I can't imagine a better way to end this blog update than looking upon the sweet face of a penguin chick.
