Again Dan, belated congratulations for the SOTD. It must be something to see these critters in their natural environment.

Congrats Dan for the SOTD!

Great spotting Dan,congrats on the well deserved SOTD and thanks for sharing

Congratulations Dan, your Chinstrap Penguins are our Spotting of the Day: "It almost looks as if someone drew a line across their face! These Chinstrap Penguins (Pygoscelis antarcticus) are our Spotting of the Day. Chinstrap penguins have a circumpolar distribution, and are known for their often extremely large breeding colonies where over 100,000 pairs can congregate. New techniques now allow the monitoring of these birds as they migrate to and from breeding sites without electronic devices, using just one tail feather.

Thanks for posting this Dan! Great series. The first shot is excellent!

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
