About These Birds
Bulwer's Petrel
26–28 cm, wingspan 68–73 cm. All-dark chocolate-brown with long wedge-shaped tail; pale diagonal wing-bar. Breeds subtropical Atlantic and Pacific islands; migrates to tropical oceans. Buoyant, weaving flight close to water. Feeds on squid and fish at night.
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.
