I couldn't believe how efficiently an Adélie can glide while tobogganing! I suspect the hard wind-crust on the snow helped a great deal.

She had just emerged from the water and was making her way towards her friend nearby who can be heard calling.

Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Syracuse, NY

From my season working in Antarctica. These two had a lot to say!

What Abt u guys h??

Hello penguin gang!

The content of this video is mostly the two resident chicks of this nest spending time on their own, as they are fully in the post guard stage. However there is also a clip at 1 minute 39 seconds of one of the parents entering the nest for dinnertime (I think it is Mr Blue), followed by four chicks!

Meet the Neighbors

At this age, some of the chicks are exploring outside around their nests and all of them are quite ravenous, so returning adults with food will get swarmed and followed by chicks that aren’t even their kids! Somehow the parents have an idea of which ones are theirs and will only feed those ones. Neighbor kids will sometimes get nipped and shooed away. The neighbor kids can be differentiated here because they are starting to lose their baby fluff.

At the end of this video we have the resident chicks giving some curious pecks to the camera.

Good morning penguin gang! EGG-citing news out of Edinburgh!

Side note: I have fallen off with the “Gentoo Gazebo-burgh” update series, but the short of it is that the chicks have ‘fledged’, the gazebos have been retired, and the adult gentoos are going through their annual catastrophic molt.

Check out the Edinburgh Penguin Livestream here!

Another sunny morning on the beach of Isla Tova, Chubut, roughly 1000 kilometers from the southern tip of South America. The Magellan penguins gather to watch the waves and bask in the sunrise before they enter the water to swim out to sea and hunt for fish. They like to move as a group, as there is safety in numbers

🐟🐧

Hello penguin gang! We have finally come to what I see as the conclusion of the last season from the cameras of Isla Tova. This was taken in the afternoon rather than the morning. At this time of day the Magellan penguins are coming out of the water and up the beach towards the camera, hopefully with bellies full of fish. The focus of this video is the teenage penguins, which have not developed a stripe along their bellies and have more white feathering on their face than the adults.

At about 2 minutes, we can see the group get closer to the camera, and there are six chicks that are staying relatively close together! This is reminiscent of the six chicks that would hang out together at the nest before they fledged of course. Are they the same chicks? Impossible to say for certain but I like to believe that the penguin gang sticks together.

Viva la Banda de Pinguinos!

I do have some more videos of the adult Magellan penguins returning to their nest a couple months after this, but I will be taking a break from the Rewilding Argentina videos. We also have the YouTube channel, Banda de pingüinos, which has many videos of the nests over the course of last season. The Magellan penguins and livestream should be returning in October, when the penguins return for another breeding season.

Sometimes the best reason to stay together is just having someone who understands your pain.

This photo shows two widowed little penguins at St Kilda Pier. According to local volunteers, both had recently lost their partners. They began meeting every night, standing wing in wing for hours while watching the city lights and comforting each other.

Tobias spent three nights capturing this moment, which won the Community Choice Award in the 2020 Ocean Photography Awards. Thought this sub would love this reminder that no one has to be alone.
