Moi aussi j'aime beaucoup le Peterson...pour la qualité de ses illustrations. Mais pour la nomenclature, ce n'est pas franchement une référence. Ca doit être à peu près le dernier guide sérieux à parler de Petrel fulmar (dans son édition française évidemment, puisqu'en VO les anglo-saxons n'ont jamais mélangé le fulmar avec les autres petrels). Pour info, Petrel fulmar = 711 références dans google, Fulmar boréal = 19500 références. Ok, j'ai laissé tomber le boreal, mais vu que c'est la seule espèce européenne,on peut peut-être se permettre cette familiarité, non ?:)
bluto29/Philippe need to hold in mind when embracing Peterson as the bible, that his Guide restricted itself to only a portion of the globe's birds and leans to American usage for so-called trivial (non-scientific) names. Around the Antarctic there is another species of Fulmarus petrel, the Southern Fulmar/Fulmar argente (Fulmarus glacialoides) which explains why our northern hemisphere birds are called Northern Fulmar/Fulmar boreal (Fulmarus glacialis) so as to differentiate in simple language for today's peripatetic birders. But if you wish to stick to Europe, you should know that birds nesting in France are of the subspecies Fulmarus glacialis auduboni, the nominate F.g.glacialis being high arctic birds (eg.Spitzbergen). Whilst on the Pacific side of America there is a third subspecies, F.g.rodgersii. Ref: HB Birds of the World, El Hoyo et al.
Dear SHoweMBOU, if you read french more fluently, you would understand that I don't "embrace Peterson as the bible". As regards the fact that I "stick to Europe", I remind you that this picture is geotagged, so I think that all Panoramio users but you can easily guess that this is not a Southern Fulmar. Before flooding Panoramio with pedant explanations, try to read pictures comments more carefully please
