but the wind was still blowing, a
steady 25+ mph with gusts to 35 or
35. Snow flurries fell intermittently during
the day. Pete Martin brought in a
Storm petrel killed against the scene
building in the evening of the 26. I checked
the antennae about to have no hope
there would be others but found none.
The penguin chicks were all bobbled up
+ because each tried to get into the
wind shadow of his neighbor their
bubbles became long streamers
running with the wind. On the slope
of the hillside the horizontal stripes
resulting were striking. I spent a
little time taking O.L.W. pictures. Checked
a couple of my enclosures. They were
looted one + the chicks had gotten out.
The nearest one had a penguin trapped
in the wire - an adult - which I brought
in so its leg was badly wounded. This was
balled later + shinned in the evening. In the
afternoon I balled 2 penguin chicks +
shinned them out. The wind died about
midnight - or at least died down.
Pete Martin reported 3 leopard seals
swimming along the N. shore in evening.
