Northern Fulmar

Fulmarus glacialis

Description:

A little smaller than the Glaucous-winged gulls as you can see in photo 3. There were so many of them, but they made sure to stay a ways away from the boat. Seen in the company of Tufted Puffins and various gulls.

Habitat:

Open water quite a ways from the shore.

Thanks Andrew! I didn't know about the dark morph!

This looks a lot better for a dark morph (or "Pacific race") Northern Fulmar to me!
