11:58 Eleven penguins standing (one
lying) on edge of Spa.
12:20 7 penguins have walked around
Spa and are now at its south end. The other 7
split off and walked out ontoullet cone.
12:28 Unbanded 42 who had very gradually
been shifting his position from an original 15
feet from nest to 40 feet over the last 15-20
minutes, walked slowly to nest. The
incubating bird (banded) at
once got up, stretched wings vertically
walked few steps forward. Unbanded set.
Banded spent 2 minute tossing invisible
items & white flecks back one shoulder
then flew to Spa.
4 penguins walked by me about
then out into cone. One chased 12 off
nest & then left, alone, across cone. Two
more stayed by Spa & are now walking
this way.
The 2 penguin walked between nests 2040-
2302 on out. Neither one paid any attention
to them.
