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.
Hawaiian Petrel
43 cm. Dark above with white forehead; white below with dark partial collar and carpal bar. Breeds high-elevation burrowing colonies on Hawaiian mountains. Vulnerable; threatened by introduced predators, light attraction, habitat loss. Migrates to northeast Pacific after breeding.
