Lizard Visitor (Baby was NOT happy about that)
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.

Egg laid on January 10th
The CahowCam 1 pair returned and laid their egg on January 9th. Watch a replay of the night's activities. https://youtu.be/lhAuFkwp48M via Nonsuch Expeditions - Bermuda
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.
The CahowCam is a collaboration between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Nonsuch Expeditions. You can watch the cam live at

http://nonsuchisland.comWe'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.
