The raptors of Torres del Paine National Park, Chile: biodiversity and conservation

Fifteen raptor species (Falconiformes and Strigiformes) breed and other two may breed in Torres del Paine National Park (Chilean Patagonia), the highest raptor species richness documented in Chile. Accounts for each raptor species in Torres del Paine are provided, including information on weight, ha...
