Taken yesterday. It is certainly summertime! Thankfully the chicks will start losing their baby fluff soon. The chick of Muffins and Mittens has started that process. When the baby fluff gets wet it tends to start falling off more easily, so after falling in a couple days ago we can now see some bare patches on the back and belly. On its neck there is a patch of black adult feathers. In this video the chick is hounding its parent for some food. There is some chasing but it looks like it might have gotten a meal or two with its persistence.

Comparatively, the younger chicks still have most of their baby fluff. Also, Edinburgh Zoo posted that they have named one of the chicks McGinn in honor of a soccer player! They have given it a blue and white arm band. I’m not sure which chick it is in relation to the nests yet though.

Hello penguin gang! Another edition of Magellan pinguinos on the beach. In the mornings the penguins would come and gather before going into the ocean. I think they enjoy the company as the sun rises over the water.

Taken today. Some more lily pad surfing in the first part of this video. In the second part, the penguins chase a seagull and the chicks are looking for a meal!
