Southern Fulmar

It is largely pale grey above and white below with a distinctive white patch on the wing. It breeds on the coast of Antarctica and on surrounding islands, moving north in winter. It nests in colonies on cliffs, laying a single egg on a ledge or crevice. Its diet includes krill, fish and squid picked from the water's surface.

The Southern Fulmar is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Southern Fulmar, Fulmarus glacialoides, is a seabird of the Southern Hemisphere. Along with the Northern Fulmar, F. glacialis, it belongs to the fulmar genus Fulmarus in the family Procellariidae, the true petrels. It is also known as the Antarctic Fulmar or Silver-grey Fulmar.

Southern Fulmars frequently gather in flocks, often with other species of seabird such as Cape Petrels, when there is a concentration of food like a school of krill or around whaling ships and trawlers. Krill and other crustaceans are the most important component of the diet but the species also feeds on small fish such as the Antarctic silverfish and squid such as Psychroteuthis, Gonatus and Galiteuthis.

Southern fulmars breed in colonies on the Antarctic Peninsula and on the Antarctic continent. They also breed on the South Sandwich Islands, South Orkney Islands, South Shetland Islands, South Georgia, Bouvet and Pete 1. During the winter months, Southern fulmars move north away from the pack ice, commonly reaching as far north as 10°S, but only where they follow colder currents along the western coasts of southern continents.

The Southern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialoides) is also known as Antarctic Fulmar by some authors. This species is seen regularly while cruising through the waters of the Antarctic Peninsula aboard ship. The two photos here were taken with a Canon T-90 & FD400mm F/4.5 lens mounted on a BushHawk shoulder mount with Kodachrome 200 film in January, 1998, along the Antarctic Peninsula. The below shot shows a fulmar with a Cape Petrel (Daption capense) for an interesting comparison. Unlike its northern relative, the Northern Fulmar (F. More

Southern Fulmar was transferred to the hypothetical list by the A. O. U. (1931, 1957). This "Columbia River" specimen is apparently also the basis for early statements that the species ranged north along the Pacific coast to Washington (A. O. U. 1895) or Washington Territory (see Jewett et al. 1953:671). The specimen is presently in the National Museum of Natural History (USNM 2032), having come from Audubon through Spencer F. Baird. More
