About These Birds

Jouanin's Petrel

43–45 cm. Larger than Bulwer's Petrel; all sooty-brown with a wedge-shaped tail and faint pale wing-bar. Breeds southern Arabian Sea islands (Socotra region); ranges in Indian Ocean. Near Threatened; poorly studied. Feeds on squid and fish; crepuscular and nocturnal at sea.

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.
