Fig. 4. Example of changes in beak angle in a Magellanic penguin during a foraging
trip. (A) Beak angle in relation to depth over time with major systematic
changes occurring whenever the bird was at the surface (see enlarged quadrats
in insets at the top of the figure). The beak movement during the fourth dive
is due to feeding. Beak angle (B) just prior to a dive after an extended
period of rest at the surface and (C) after a dive and followed by extended
rest at the surface. Note that in these two examples the trace of beak angle
over time is not symmetrical about its mid-point (cf. A). Arrows show periods
when the bird was underwater.
