Our penguins have been altering their schedule to follow that of the sun's. This week, for the southern hemisphere, the sun crossed the autumnal equinox and shortly, our birds will be leaving for less violent parts of the southern ocean. Another storm battered the peninsula this week, and as you can see below, they all huddle against the prevailing winds of 50mph. Even penguins have a limit to their comfort zones.
The little ones are still working through their first molt, and you can always tell which ones, because they have begun to beg their parents for food once more. More than one chick has received a short response for their efforts.
Two more of the cams went offline this afternoon and I am unsure as to why. Meanwhile, in South Georgia, the baby fur seals were out and about playing and one lone penguin was spotted. Now that both SG cams are up and running, I will include them here.
So let's look at the week in pictures:
Until next week, here's hoping you're evenings and days are just as rosy as these last two.
Ahay from Antarctica!
