Welcome Home, Bermuda Petrel! Cahow Burrow 1 Gets Its First Visit of the 2023 Season

Oct 25, 2022 Bermuda Petrels (known as Cahows) return to their underground burrows in November to begin the breeding season. Throughout the month they bond with their mate, copulate, and spend time rearranging their nest burrows. If all goes well, we should expect an egg in early January.
Welcome to a new season of the critically endangered Bermuda Cahow, a kind of gadfly-petrel that nests nowhere in the world except rocky islets off the coast of Bermuda. In the early 1600s, this once-numerous seabird was thought to have gone extinct, driven out of existence by the invasive animals and habitat changes associated with the settlement of the island. In 1951, after nearly 300 years, a single bird was rediscovered, and since then the species has been part of a government-led conservation effort to revive the species.

This gif is from the little one in burrow 2 camera on March 14 2021
This is a cute video of when the female returns and their reactions. ;) The photo is from January 23rd 2019 posted in the RRP forum thread...
Bermuda Petrels Reunite After Female Returns – Jan. 21, 2019https://youtu.be/zy552ZAXhWY via cornell lab bird cams
The female Bermuda Petrel returned to the burrow in the late night hours of January 21 after a week of foraging over the Atlantic Ocean. Watch her arrival spark some loud vocalizations and a long session of tender allopreening. Both birds have remained cuddled up in the burrow, but the male will eventually leave the incubation duties to his mate as he heads out to sea to refuel.
