Title: Bermuda Petrels Cahow Cam

I posted this video earlier today... https://youtu.be/zy552ZAXhWY
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.

The CahowCam is a collaboration between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Nonsuch

We're excited to share a brand new live viewing experience featuring 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.

Much of this conservation work by the Bermuda Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has centered on the creation of manmade burrows to increase nesting habitat, and to create new colonies on larger islands that are more robust to the increasing threats of hurricanes. The Cornell Lab entered into a partnership with the innovative Nonsuch Expeditions, a multimedia and outreach effort centered on Nonsuch Island that is committed to raising awareness and conserving the unique animals and environments on and around Bermuda. They have successfully broadcasted from a cahow burrow in past years, and this year we are working together to create an experience that will blend both live footage from a new camera as well as interaction with DENR Senior Terrestrial Conservation Officer Jeremy Madeiros during his weekly nest checks throughout the nesting season.

This on-camera pair has been together since 2009, using this same burrow each of those years, and has fledged successfully for the last four years. During the nesting season, the cahows only visit and court under the cover of night, then head out to sea during daylight hours. The pair returned to the island in early-November to court and mate, then will disappear out to sea for the month of December.
You can follow updates and ask questions via the cahow cam's Twitter feed

We look forward to learning about this cryptic species alongside you.

Why Is The Female Cahow Shaking Her Head? ? Jan. 25, 2019
https://youtu.be/8lU4RXJmfLU via cornell lab bird cams
Why do we often see the Cahows shake their heads after coming back from a foraging trip?  According to Bermuda Petrel expert Jeremy Madeiros, this is a common behavior among gadfly petrels, who, along with other tubenoses, have salt-excreting glands in their nostrils. By shaking their heads, these birds effectively remove the salt from these glands in the form of briny droplets. This is also why the cahow's bill often looks wet!

Okay, Lori, now you got me hooked on ANOTHER species!  ;D  They are adorable, and their history is very interesting.  Another success story of a species being saved from extinction by mans' intervention.  Good to see those things rather than how man brings about their demise.  Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful story.

We've been hearing the chick but this is our first look at it. As the adult Cahow moves around a bit, the fluffy gray head and tiny bill come in to view. The chick is quickly hidden under the adult's wing but manages to poke its beak out again near the end of this clip.

Both adult Bermuda Petrels arrived for a short overnight reunion with their chick in their artificial nesting burrow on Nonsuch Island, Bermuda. Cahows nest in underground burrows or deep rock crevices, and only nests deep enough to be completely dark are chosen. 80% of all cahows now nest in artificial concrete nest burrows constructed for them as part of the Cahow Recovery Program

Lizard Visitor (Baby was NOT happy about that)(https://gyazo.com/83af47267026819bddbe7139d333d1b0)

This Cahow (Bermuda Petrel) chick is only a few days old when a visitor shows up in its nest burrow. The Bermuda Skink (Plestiodon longirostris) or Bermuda Rock Lizard seems quite interested in the empty eggshell. However, the spunky Cahow chick uses its bill to "scare" the skink away. If its movements are not quite on target, that is understandable because the burrow is underground and so it is dark.

A pair of Bermuda Petrels reunited at their nest site on CahowCam 1 to begin the 2021 nesting period. Watch the male greet his mate with high-pitched, throaty squawks and tender preening in the late hours of January 9. Within an hour of her return, the female hunkered down and laid a single egg at 11:19 PM.

We're excited to share a brand new live viewing experience featuring 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.

Much of this conservation work by the Bermuda Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has centered on the creation of manmade burrows to increase nesting habitat, and to create new colonies on larger islands that are more robust to the increasing threats of hurricanes. The Cornell Lab entered into a partnership with the innovative Nonsuch Expeditions, a multimedia and outreach effort centered on Nonsuch Island that is committed to raising awareness and conserving the unique animals and environments on and around Bermuda. They have successfully broadcasted from a cahow burrow in past years, and this year we are working together to create an experience that will blend both live footage from a new camera as well as interaction with DENR Senior Terrestrial Conservation Officer Jeremy Madeiros during his weekly nest checks throughout the nesting season.
This on-camera pair has been together since 2009, using this same burrow each of those years, and has fledged successfully for the last four years. During the nesting season, the cahows only visit and court under the cover of night, then head out to sea during daylight hours. The pair returned to the island in early-November to court and mate, then will disappear out to sea for the month of December.

Bermuda Cahow Chick Hatches! | Post-Hatch Highlights – Feb. 27, 2022
https://youtu.be/arCdKVT2-3Ivia cornll labs bird cams

After spending about 24 hours working its way out of the egg, the Bermuda Cahow chick hatched in the early morning hours of February 27, on day 50 of incubation! Watch highlights of the tender moments between the fluffy chick and parent following the chick's emergence.

Now's your chance to watch the growth and development of one of the world's rarest and most endangered seabirds grow up live on camera from its nesting burrow Nonsuch Island, Bermuda. Assuming all goes well, this chick will have grown to the size of an adult and will be ready to fly over the Atlantic come late May to early June.

The CahowCam is a collaboration between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Nonsuch Expeditions. You can watch the cam live at http://allaboutbirds.org/cahows and learn more about Nonsuch Island's environs (including the cahow) at  http://nonsuchisland.com

We're excited to share a brand new live viewing experience featuring 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.

Much of this conservation work by the Bermuda Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has centered on the creation of manmade burrows to increase nesting habitat, and to create new colonies on larger islands that are more robust to the increasing threats of hurricanes. The Cornell Lab entered into a partnership with the innovative Nonsuch Expeditions, a multimedia and outreach effort centered on Nonsuch Island that is committed to raising awareness and conserving the unique animals and environments on and around Bermuda. They have successfully broadcasted from a cahow burrow in past years, and this year we are working together to create an experience that will blend both live footage from a new camera as well as interaction with DENR Senior Terrestrial Conservation Officer Jeremy Madeiros during his weekly nest checks throughout the nesting season.

This on-camera pair has been together since 2009, using this same burrow each of those years, and has fledged successfully for the last four years. During the nesting season, the cahows only visit and court under the cover of night, then head out to sea during daylight hours. The pair returned to the island in early-November to court and mate, then will disappear out to sea for the month of December.

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.

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.
