    PART I • Omora Park Long-Term Ornithological Research Program THE OMORA PARK LONG-TERM ORNITHOLOGICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM: 1 STUDY SITES AND METHODS RICARDO ROZZI, JAIME E. JIMÉNEZ, FRANCISCA MASSARDO, JUAN CARLOS TORRES-MURA, AND RAJAN RIJAL In January 2000, we initiated a Long-term Ornithological Research Program at Omora Ethnobotanical Park in the world's southernmost forests: the sub-Antarctic forests of the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve. In this chapter, we first present some key climatic, geographical, and ecological attributes of the Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion compared to subpolar regions of the Northern Hemisphere. We then describe the study sites at Omora Park and other locations on Navarino Island and in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve. Finally, we describe the methods, including censuses, and present data for each of the bird species caught in mist nets during the first eleven years (January 2000 to December 2010) of the Omora Park Long-Term Ornithological Research Program. THE MAGELLANIC SUB-ANTARCTIC ECOREGION The contrast between the southwestern end of South America and the subpolar zone of the Northern Hemisphere allows us to more clearly distinguish and appreciate the peculiarities of an ecoregion that until recently remained invisible to the world of science and also for the political administration of Chile. So much so, that this austral region lacked a proper name, and it was generally subsumed under the generic name of Patagonia. For this reason, to distinguish it from Patagonia and from sub-Arctic regions, in the early 2000s we coined the name “Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion” (Rozzi 2002). The Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion extends along the southwestern margin of South America between the Gulf of Penas (47ºS) and Horn Island (56ºS) (Figure 1).

Here at Australis we have been navigating the waters of Cape Horn, the Beagle Channel and Strait of Magellan since 1990 as a leading expedition cruise company. During that time our passion and goal has never changed: to transport our guests to another world, one which is wild and beautiful, untouched by humankind and rarely seen by tourists; a unique experience that will not be forgotten. A UNIQUE, UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE WORLD — www.australis.com Australis cruise routes all encompass the hidden canals, fjords and environments of this evocative part of Patagonia. We have access to areas that other cruise operators do not, meaning that your on-land and offshore excursions – whether trekking towards giant glaciers, wandering forest trails or exploring the delights of the Penguin colony – will be in complete isolation. Our itineraries also include a stop at Cape Horn, the southernmost point in the Americas which is often nicknamed the ‘End of the World’.

The announcement of Feb. 7 stated that on Dec. 7, 1947, the British Ambassador in Buenos Aires, Sir Reginald Leeper, had presented a Note expressing British "anxiety" at the activities in the Antarctic of an Argentine naval expedition which had visited part of the Falkland Islands Dependencies, including Graham Land, the South Shetlands, and the South Orkneys, and had landed at various points in British territory; that a request had been made for Argentine nationals to evacuate bases established on Deception Island and Gamma Island, in the South Shetlands; that H.M. Government had proposed that the Argentine should submit her claim to Antarctic sovereignty to the International Court of Justice for adjudication; and that on Dec. 23, 1947, a second British Note had been presented expressing surprise at continued violations of British territory and territorial waters by Argentine vessels in the Antarctic.

Antarctica is one of the most exhilarating adventures on Earth. Every facet is thrilling and lovely. Its vastness is both humbling and uplifting, as is the ice in all its myriad forms. Relish the penguins—with their endlessly amusing antics, gabbling in their rookeries, bobbing by on a blue berg, or catapulting on to the shore. See mountains rising some 9,000 feet up from the sea and an abundance of marine mammals. Hike and explore by Zodiac. Travel with an expedition leader and naturalists who have hundreds of journeys under their parkas. A National Geographic photographer will give talks and one-on-one photo tips in the field, and an undersea specialist captures rarely seen footage of life beneath the icy surface for viewing in the comfort of the ship’s lounge. Spend your days and nights on a once-in-a-lifetime polar adventure with the Traveling Aggies.

The eight species involved are the following: European hare (Lepus europaeus), European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), and red deer (Cervus elaphus) were all introduced from Europe (Austria, France, Germany, and Spain) to either or both Chilean and Argentine Patagonia. American beaver (Castor canadensis) and muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) were introduced from Canada to Argentine Tierra del Fuego Island (shared with Chile). The American mink (Mustela vison) apparently was brought from the United States of America to both Chilean and Argentine Patagonia, independently. The native grey fox (Pseudalopex griseus) was introduced from Chilean to Argentine Tierra del Fuego.
