waffle update...our sweet adopted penguin waffle has said goodbye to her 2 chicks. they have officially begun life on their own! mike reports, "Chick weight is so important that we weigh the chicks before they leave the colony. The chicks will not sit still on scales, so they are dangled by the legs instead. It looks unkind, but it does not hurt and it is quickly over. Anything over 3 kilograms is a good weight, and the average weight for the chicks at our Chilean and Argentine colonies this year was 3.2 kilograms, so they should do well." please be sure to visit mike at
seabirds.org ~~~ (photo: chick being weighed courtesy of mike)

I'm glad to hear you and Sabine has finally launched your photoblog. I just want to say, I really didn't know what I was doing in pairing you two together, it was an idea on a wimp since I didn't couldn't work with three people on one photogblog.
