Winter's get slowly weakens - зима  медленно идет на спад, and the chicks - и птенцы begins to run free... - начинают  свободно бегать...
Some need a little encouraging, - некоторые нуждаются в небольшом вдохновении, but eventually - но, в конечном счете, they all find their ways - они все найдут свой путь.

Winter may have ended, - зима может закончиться, but the dangers have not - но опасности не кончаются.

It is a day of August, - это - августовский день, and time for the mothers - и время для матерей, to return and feed once more – для того, чтобы вернуться и поесть еще раз.

For some, this development is unacceptable, but it is also non-negotiable...

Because they are old enough now, the chicks are left alone for the first time.


As spring arrives, the ice pack's nearly oceans edges beginning to melt shortening distance between the sea and the breeding ground.  pack's nearly oceans edges

It isn't long before the fathers return.

 Their belly's heavy with food. The chicks will gather once to meet them and sound their calls.  The returning fathers will sacredly excite the new borns, and listen until they hear his chicks call.

Some will never find their chicks.  The new born would have died from cold or hunger or at the hands of some predators, but for those that do find their young, their union is joyful one and very quickly the young chicks belly will be full again. 

 
For the next several months, the parents will take turns shuttling back and forward off to the sea for foods. And occasionally the new family can actually spend some time together. 

By September, the ice is begun to thin and crack.

The sea gets closer, allowing the parents go back and forward more frequently. The chicks new coated feathers is now thick and floruit enough to protect them on their own. And by November the ocean is within a few hundred yards of the breeding ground.
