We have chicks... the early ones hatched last week and more will be coming. If you watch, you'll see the returning parent try and nudge the one sitting on the nest over so he/she can get their turn at parenting. The parent will also be bent and in a feeding position, and there you might get to see this dark blur. Lastly, if you see the penguin parent's breastbone display, he or she is most certainly letting the little one get a little air (along with doing some intentional boasting). :)
Too bad we have no close-up cam this year, but we can always hope that at one point, the remaining cams will be installed nearer the rookery. Can't wait for the little ones to be up and out from under their parents.
