Principles and Practice of Forest Landscape Restoration Case studies from the drylands of Latin America Edited by A.C. Newton and N. Tejedor About IUCN IUCN, International Union for Conservation of Nature, helps the world find pragmatic solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges. IUCN works on biodiversity, climate change, energy, human livelihoods and greening the world economy by supporting scientific research, managing field projects all over the world, and bringing governments, NGOs, the UN and companies together to develop policy, laws and best practice. IUCN is the world’s oldest and largest global environmental organization, with more than 1,000 government and NGO members and almost 11,000 volunteer experts in some 160 countries. IUCN’s work is supported by over 1,000 staff in 60 offices and hundreds of partners in public, NGO and private sectors around the world. www.iucn.org Principles and Practice of Forest Landscape Restoration Case studies from the drylands of Latin America Principles and Practice of Forest Landscape Restoration Case studies from the drylands of Latin America Edited by A.C.

Biology of the Austral Pygmy-Owl
Wilson Bull., 101(3), 1989, pp. 377-389 BIOLOGY OF THE AUSTRAL PYGMY-OWL JAIME E. JIMBNEZ AND FABIAN M. JAKSI~~ ALETRACT.-Scatteredinformation on the Austral Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium nanum), pub- lished mostly in Argentine and Chilean journals and books of restricted circulation, is summarized and supplementedwith field observations made by the authors. Information presentedand discussedincludes: taxonomy, morphometry, distribution, habitat, migration, abundance,conservation, reproduction, activity, vocalization, behavior, and diet. The first quantitative assessmentof the Austral Pygmy-Owl’s food habits is presented,based on 780 prey items from a singlecentral Chilean locality. Their food is made up of insects (50% by number), mammals (320/o),and birds (14%). The biomasscontribution, however, is strongly skewed toward small mammals and secondarily toward birds. Received 13 Jan. 1988, ac- cepted 29 Jan. 1989. The Austral Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium nanum) is a little known owl of southern South America (Clark et al. 1978). During a field study on the raptors of a central Chilean locality, we found a small poulation of Austral Pygmy-Owls which were secretive but apparently not scarce. Because the literature on this species is widely scattered, mostly in little known and sometimes very old Chilean and Argentine books and journals, we decided to summarize it all in an account of what is known about the biology of this interesting species and to make this wealth of information available to interested ornithologists worldwide. We present a summary of our review of the literature, supplemented by our own observations. In ad- dition, we report firsthand biological information that we have collected on Austral Pygmy-Owls in our study site, including an analysis of the first quantitative data on the food habits of the species. -

November 14-20, 2018 ©2018 Breathtaking Chile! Whether exploring wild Patagonia, watching a Puma hunting a herd of Guanaco against a backdrop of snow-capped spires, enjoying the fascinating antics of a raucous King Penguin colony in Tierra del Fuego, observing a pair of hulking Magellanic Woodpeckers or colorful friendly Tapaculos in a towering Southern Beech forest, or sipping fine wine in a comfortable lodge, this lovely, modern South American country is destined to captivate you! Hosteira Pehoe in Torres Del Paine National Park © Andrew Whittaker Wild Patagonia and Central Chile, Page 2 On this exciting new tour, we will experience the majestic scenery and abundant wildlife of Chile, widely regarded among the most beautiful countries in the world! From Santiago & Talca, in south- central Chile, to the famous Chilean Lake district, charming Chiloe Island to wild Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego in the far south, we will seek out all the special birds, mammals, and vivid landscapes for which the country is justly famous. Our visit is timed for the radiant southern spring when the weather is at its best, colorful blooming wildflowers abound, birds are outfitted in stunning breeding plumage & singing, and photographic opportunities are at their peak. Perhaps most exciting, we will have the opportunity to observe the intimate and poorly known natural history of wild Pumas amid spectacular Torres del Paine National Park, often known as the 8th wonder of the World! Chile is a wonderful place for experiencing nature. -

No, that country has so very much more! And certainly it has a rich and beautiful flora. Chile’s plant world is strongly diversified and shows inter- esting geographical and evolutionary patterns. This is due to several factors: The geographical position of the country on the edge of a continental plate and stretch- ing along an extremely long latitudinal gradient from the tropics to the cold, barren rocks of Cape Horn, opposite Antarctica; the strong differences in altitude from sea level to the icy peaks of the Andes; the inclusion of distant islands in the country’s territory; the long geological and evolutionary history of the biota; and the mixture of tropical and temperate floras. -

The changes in habitats and scenery were spectacular and just like the rest of Chile make it a very unique and wonderful country. We enjoyed an amazing pelagic where albatrosses, petrels and shearwaters entertained us. Guided by a wonderful friend Claudio we then headed south where even more unique scenery included the Araucaria Forest surrounded by snow-capped volcanoes and yet another awesome bird the huge Magellanic Woodpecker, actually four together on one tree!. -
Ultimate Chile
We saw many good shorebirds during this tour, including the stunning Rufous-chested Dotterel. (all photos by DLV) ULTIMATE CHILE 19 NOVEMBER– 3/8 DECEMBER 2018 LEADER: MARK PEARMAN and DANI LOPEZ-VELASCO 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Chile 2018 www.birdquest-tours.com Once again, our Ultimate Chile tour produced all of the mainland Chilean endemics, all eight tapaculos, some the size of a puffin, including walk-away views of both Chestnut-throated and Black-throated Huet- Huets, and an astonishing wader spectacle of 33 species, including Diademed Sandpiper-Plover, Magellanic Plover, Peruvian Thick-knee, Tawny-throated and Rufous-chested Dotterels and Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe. Our two main pelagics, and various ferry crossings, delivered 17 species of tubenose with highlights of Southern Royal, Chatham and Buller´s Albatrosses, one of the first Shy (White-capped) Albatross records for Chile, and some Pincoya Storm Petrels. In all, we observed 280 species (of which 28 were only seen on the extension) plus some 16 species of mammal, among which, the rarely seen Huemul and delightful Commerson's Dolphin stood out. As we travelled almost the entire spine of Chile we sampled three major biomes including several vast wilderness areas, from the Atacama desert to the high Andes and through Patagonian forests to the Magellanic and Fuegian tundra steppe. Other unforgettable highlights, from north to south, included, the critically endangered Chilean Woodstar, Tamarugo Conebill, White-throated Earthcreeper, Andean and James's Flamingos, Magellanic Woodpecker, Burrowing Parrot, Spectacled Duck, White-throated Hawk, Rufous-legged Owl, Des Murs’ Wiretail and the recently split Patagonian Forest Earthcreeper.
