Catharacta maccormicki
Feb 2 J.-Chub regurgitated food-penguin
meat & adult penguin feathers.
Feb 6 Several more moultting adults noted
during day.
Chicks apparently more freely among
territories largely commanulated by adults.
Because of my presence a herd of 4 gathered
on territory 31 none of the respective
adults followed them or took any defensive
action. This a frequent observation though
this is the largest herd I have seen. One
exception at nest 11. Chub can fly, alighted on
349 territory one adult attacked it, grabbed it
on neck then decorated. Chub in "gape"
defense with hissing zirga zirga call.
adult attacked it second time chub then
ran off. This attack may be because
11 chick so much larger than 349's who
is a late hatchling.
Incubant at Spa. A standing got into
"regurgitating" pose (whatever that is); in other
words stretched to neck and about to
regurgitate. One adult showed great interest
started towards it then as food was brought up
several mobbed it on the spot.
