	Chinstrap Penguins
		Chinstraps breed on sub-Antarctic islands and on the Antarctic Peninsula.
		Chinstrap penguins build roughly circular nests of stones; the nests are typically 40 cm in diameter and up to 15 cm high in the centre.
		Chinstrap penguins are sometimes known as "Stonecracker Penguins", this name derives from their shrill call.

		Penguin wings are highly modified to form stiff paddle-like flippers used for swimming, and their feet and stubby tails combine to form a rudder.
		Chinstrap penguins are named for the distinctive narrow band of fl feathers that extends from ear to ear.
		Chinstraps are regarded as the boldest and most pugnacious of the pygoscelid species; they average 28 to 29 inches (71 to 76 cm) in height and weigh some 8.6 to 9.7 pounds (3.9 - 4.4 kg).

	ABANDONED PENGUIN COLONIES AND CLIMATE CHANGE
		The radiocarbon chronology of penguin bones so far indicates that only Adelie penguins have bred in the Palmer region beginning up to 603-679 years ago and that only recently have Gentoo and Chinstrap Penguins expanded their breeding distribution to this region.
		These data further suggest that Adelie penguins may have shifted their diet from a relatively greater proportion of squid prior to the LIA to a greater proportion of fish during the LIA, perhaps in response to warming and cooling cycles that may have affected prey abundance.
		These results suggest that the penguins must be taking squid early or late in the season, while they are still occupying their breeding sites, but feed primarily on krill (and some fish) during the chick-rearing season as shown by the stomach samples.
