The largest penguins here were the King Penguins. A large group of them were massed in a rocked off portion of the colony. That was the only place we could see the young King Penguins, and there seemed to be at least two ages of young.
Many of a second, smaller species of penguins, the Gentoo, seemed to be in a state of extreme molt with feathers everywhere.
Below are a pair of young hassling their mom to feed them. You notice the mom is a little gray. Her feathers are worn. Her young have fresh black feathers.
My favorite were the Magellanic Penguins.
Both James and I took photos of the penguins and the scenery at Volunteer Point. It was a beautiful day for photography.
