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.
Black-capped Petrel
40 cm. Large gadfly petrel; dark cap and upperparts, white underparts with dark carpal bar. Breeds Hispaniola and Cuba; once very abundant. Endangered; longline bycatch and habitat loss are key threats. Ranges widely in western and central Atlantic; crepuscular at colonies.
