Yes, that's the trick! Thanks.Hi,
Didn't work for me either, but worked if I right clicked on the link and downloaded the file to my computer and then opened it in Acrobat Reader!

Wow! Falkland Sometimes-flying Steamer Duck. But no mention (in the abstract) of 'Chiloé Steamer Duck'.
Yes, I'd also like to know - I've PM'd Alan Henry about it, so perhaps he can shed some light. In a brief visit to the Falklands last year, all the steamers that we saw were identified as Falkland flightless (brachypterus), but females have greenish-yellow bills like female Flying (patachonicus) so flightless pairs aren't always as totally obvious as Fuegian (pteneres). Dick Filby told us that Flying Steamer Ducks were very scarce in the Falklands - I think he might have said that he'd never actually seen them there.As I've never been to the Falklands, I've never seen "either" Steamer duck there. Could someone clarify if they mirror the differences in their mainland counterparts or if they look more similar? The mainland birds (Flightless vs Flying) seem very distinct by eye.
Also - Chiloe SD? I'm off to Chile later this year so more info on this 'taxon' would be great.
