I had a great opportunity to watch a torrent duck at work (play?) in some rapids near Mt. Fitzroy in Patagonia, and that still is one of the highlights of my birding carrer. Keep your eyes open for them. Also, if you go as far south at Santiago, Chile there is a penguin colony near Zapallar (45min. north of Vin~a del Mar), which I think is (one of?) the norther-most in the world. Do Penguins make it to New Zealand? Darwin O.V. Alonso alonso@maxwell.mmwb.ucsf.edu U.C. San Francisco, or wk.
