Nests in the snow

    Are these chinstrap penguins sitting on nests in the snow? Or are they just buried a bit?

    They are on nests - here's one of the same site without the snow http://talk.penguinwatch.org/#/subjects/APZ0003a51
    You can see the nests scratched into the ground

    Thank you! That additional photo explains the one penguin who looks buried in the snow--that next is dug out a bit.
