 "Do penguins make a sound" is the question I was asked by The Reception Class at St. Edmundsbury Church of England School in Bury St. Edmunds, This class is learning about penguins, and their teacher loves penguins (who doesn't!! :😃❤️!!!)
The answer is yes. A bird research team at Palmer Station has an excellent video about this on their "palmer_birders" Instagram page (please click on the link or the photo above). The group is led by Dr. Megan Cimino. Two of her team members have been coming here doing bird work for years: Darren and Megan Roberts. Bird work includes not just penguins, but other birds also, such as the southern giant petrels. They work long days in the field, and have lots of cool data (pun intended!).
