tube nose in Penguin movie?According to http://www.sialia.com/s/calists.pl?rm=message;id=76366 the bird is a Southern Giant Petrel. That message also references http://70south.com/resources/animals/birds/southerngiantpetrel for further info. It states also that the bird was seen in Winged Migration preying on a penguin chick as well.

Subject: [Tweeters] tube nose in Penguin movie?


Hello,

This may have been discussed to death long ago, but I just saw "March of the Penguins" and didn't get enough of a look at the tube-nose that picked off a penguin chick for an ID, and they didn't give it space in the credits. I'm sure there's someone out there who IDed it -- can you give me a hint? Thanks!
