Beautiful markings on this bird and some very nice captures of it in flight as well as the nesting pair.

Wow, love the backdrop in these. That's really cool how you captured them. #1 and 4 are my favorites.

Very nice images all. Like others have noted, the first one is an attention grabber.

Nice imaging. I can't recall seeing these birds down there, but I may next week when I return.

Have a wonderful time Jeffrey. With whom are you traveling? And do you know if the avian flu will impact your visit to Antarctica?

I'll be on the Hans Hansson with Quixote Expeditions. It's a small ship that takes only 12 guests. We will get in to places that no other larger ships can get to. I am aware of the flu but it may not really change the course of my adventure. We will have every precaution in place!
