Hi Ms. Herrmann! I'm glad to hear you got out in the field to see some ornithology in action. Somehow I hadn't realized just how big the giant petrel chicks are! Maggie Amsler sounds like someone who would be amazing to meet. It's also great to hear that your “Polar Connect” event went well--I wish I could have seen it. I've been in the ocean too, but I'm sure it was quite different here in Florida than in Palmer. It sounds like a once in a life time experience, for sure! To me it seems like you've been in Antarctica for ages, but maybe it's gone very quickly for you. I hope your last few days are going well! Mila
