I saw my first wildlife the other day (besides the usual wild McMurdo residents!) It is finally nice enough that the Skuas have come to town. These birds are somewhat like big gulls, and they LOOOOVE all the trash we have. Unfortunately for them, we keep it all covered pretty well, so they can be pretty bold when they see you walking by with a sandwich in hand.

Here’s a skua who was chillin’ outside the galley, in the middle of the road, just waiting for someone to go by with a treat.

Also, I went to the hairdresser and got a new ‘do. Check it out!

Ok, so I’m just kidding on that one. Mom, don’t freak out yet.
