About These Birds
Northern Fulmar
The northern fulmar is a long-lived seabird that can survive over 40 years. It defends its nest by projectile-vomiting a foul-smelling stomach oil at intruders, which can mat the feathers of predators and cause fatal loss of waterproofing. Fulmars have expanded their breeding range dramatically southward over the past two centuries.
Bonin Petrel
30 cm. Pale grey above with dark M-mark; white below with dark partial collar. Breeds Northwest Hawaiian Islands and Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands. Migrates to south Pacific after breeding. Feeds on squid and fish; population recovering after rat eradication on breeding islands.
