My favorite species

I'm back! Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to start this just before Christmas... Anyway, I'm fullky recovered from the holidays and ready to devote more time to my pengs.

I thought I'd do a leisurely survey of my favorite species, the A List, the B List, and the Everything Else List. Please note, though, that these are the species I've actually seen in the feather, so to speak, in their natural habitat. There are 18 species in all, so I h ave ten more to go, and they aren't listed here.

The A List:
Adelies (Pygoscelis adeliae)
Kings (Aptenodytes patagonicus)
Emperors (Aptenodytes forsteri)

The B List:
Gentoos (Pygoscelis papua)
Chinstraps (Pygoscelis antarctica)

The Everything-Else List:
Magellanics (Spheniscus magellanicus)
Rockhoppers (Eudyptes chrysocome)
Macaronis (Eudyptes chrysolophus)

The As are listed in order of preference, so I'll start with my very most favorite penguin of all time, the Adelie.
