Jan 28 Cape Hallett, Antarctica.
The day was clear, sunny, a slight
breeze was blowing in the morning +
this continued all day. I spent the
morning scraping a penguin chick
slime & finishing putting them up. A
complete round of the slurry was
made in the afternoon + 14 or 20 chicks
were banded. This seems to wind up the
banding almost. One chick I did not band
was one which flew off at my approach,
the only flying chick I have seen so far.
Jan 29 Cape Hallett, Antarctica.
Sunday. Made a round of my enclosures
cleaning out the snow + putting the chicks back
in - at least those which had escaped.
The day was cloudy + a breeze sprang up in
mid afternoon. Light snow fell.
Jan 30 Cape Hallett, Antarctica
Not much accomplished today. I weighed
and measured a series of 10 full sized
chicks (penguin) + killed (to help of PSD)
6 adult penguins. Shinned out the chin-
strap penguin + three of the adult adelie's.
Jan 31 Cape Hallett, Antarctica.
Shinned the last 3 adult penguins
+ scraped + salted 2 of them. There is a road
block in this program in a shortage of salt.
