Yeah, we've got Adelie penguins lounging around Hut Point, posing for camera-toting humans. A pretty good number of them were there when I went out Sunday. The fellow above was particularly enthralled with us, walking around among folks and putting on a show. We are under clear orders that we are not to approach or interact with wildlife. While I was out there, folks were very well behaved, positioning themselves so this guy and a few like him might very well approach them but without bothering the penguins at all.
Take this photo, for example. Photographers or folks just watching would sit still while the penguins moved around them. The folks approaching from the back, with the yellow stripes, are off the icebreaker Oden mentioned previously. The ship has docked next to the ice pier and its crew members have been visiting in town.
I may get some more penguin photos up soon. I had a little problem getting them transferred and into the proper format, so I'll have to massage the others.
