I would like to second the question of climate change impacts on penguins (that you have seen personally).
Have you found that individual birds have personalities/traits (other than physical differences) that allow you to recognize them over and over? Do they show fear of you (or are they indifferent or even react positively to your presence)?
Has the calving of major ice sheets in the Antarctic had a significant effect on penguins (population, habits, habitat, etc.)?
What is your educational, etc. background that prepared you for this career, did you aim for this or is it more something that just sort of came along?
Ever gone swimming with penguins? Stupid sounding, but honestly the footage I've seen makes them so graceful underwater, I just had to ask....
