King penguins molt after two years of age — basically this means they lose their baby feathers, underneath which they reveal their adult plumage. As you can see, they don’t all progress at the same rate. It was comical to see the half-molted penguins. They looked as if they were partially dressed in varying degrees of clothing, from a furry vest, to a feather boa, to well, that last guy appears to be in chaps.
I never knew you were such a fashionista! You captured these various pieces of human clothing just right. Do the brown downy feathers blow away in the wind? The snow does not appear to be covered with them.
There is no snow in any of the photos. In the first shot, that is sand. In the others, the white on the ground is the feathers. The brown feathers are actually white on the inside.

Talk about going through an awkward phase. Teenagers have it easy compared to these guys.
No doubt Maria, no doubt.
Words cannot express how much I love this. This little series has made it to the top of my list.
Even competing with the tarsiers?
