This magnificent bird usually flies south for the winter but this old soul decided to sick around.  this shoot was just before a few day of extreme cold so I'm not sure if it endured or flew south after all. ⁠

Peal's Dolphin Bow Riding⁠ When I'm on expeditio Peal's Dolphin Bow Riding⁠
When I'm on expedition I often look over the bow of the ship. On this day, on our way from South America to Antarctica with a stop at the Falkland Islands, a Peal's Dolphin was bow riding and creating these amazing torpedo like moments.⁠

What a moment! ⁠ these two images show how a Par What a moment! ⁠
these two images show how a Parasitic Jaeger or Arctic Skua, attacks a Kittiwake to cause it to cough up it's recent catch so it can eat.  Skuas are legendary for their habit of stealing food rather than catching their own. even if the other bird has already swallowed it!⁠

All in a Days Work⁠ Chinstrap Penguins will carr All in a Days Work⁠
Chinstrap Penguins will carry small stones to their nests over long distances.  Other penguins use stones as well but chinstraps seem to always be moving stones.  They are also fantastic climbers which seems odd for a penguin.  Strange but true.⁠

Sworn enemy of the Penguin is the Antarctic Skua⁠
Skuas are a gull like sort of raptor crossover that is an opportunistic feeder and spends it's time flying over penguin colonies looking for unattended eggs and stray chicks.  You can tell how hated they are whey they fly over a colony by the vocal outcry of the penguins⁠

I also have some wonderful video footage of these little guys feeding.  I'll be sharing much much more video this year and just need to decide the best way.  Some of it would make great short videos for things like TikTok (don't have it though) and shorts or reels, other content is horizontal and best for. YouTube and Facebook.  Too Many Choices!⁠
