About These Birds

American Robin

아메리카울새는 북미 전역에서 봄의 전령으로 널리 알려져 있다. 이름과 달리 실제 유럽울새와 관련이 없으며, 지빠귀과(Turdidae)에 속한다. 빨간 가슴과 노래 소리로 쉽게 알아볼 수 있다.

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.
