My nice story "explains" lack of auks in the south better than lack of
penguins in the north.  I wonder if anyone here can hazard an opinion
about what's going on further up the coast of Patagonia, Chile,
Argentina...and South Africa; in places where there are cold currents but
no penguins, and presumably, no auks.
