I love the photos, your humor is delightful and I am glad that I get to see and hear what you are doing daily instead of having to wait until you get back. I hope you can keep this up as you have many fans. What a fabulous adventure. So you get to add another bird sighting to your list. Do you think there will be a point when you will have seen all the birds that have been known to be seen and then you won't have any new discoveries? Please prevent frostbite. We don't want you to have to come home early, and as you know there are lifetime consequences to frostbite. Have fun. Your mom tells me that I should write more. This blog is great.

The pictures and narratives are wonderful. My 5 kids and wife wait anxiously for me to show them your blog at dinner time. A few questions though. 1) What keeps you warm in the sleeping tent? Just layers & sleeping bag? 2) Why did you have to move the fence for one bird? It looks like the fence wasn't very tight around the birds. Were you trying to loop every bird in a specific area (entire colony?)? 3) Are you three continuing research on the same colony that people have done in years past or is this brand new research on a brand new location/birds? 4) When one parent leaves to go feed, does the other parent nest in its place or do other parents take over? 5) The hut and the tents are on ground away from the glacier? Is the glacier moving gradually? 6) How often do you get re-stocked from the main Base? Will you get to go back to the Base sometime in the 6 month stay? Txs and Keep warm Noah,
