Bermuda Cahow Cam Retiring From Bird Cams In October 2024

A view of Nonsuch Island, Bermuda, where Bermuda Petrels nest during the breeding season.

After 8 years of watching families of endearing Bermuda Petrels (also known as “cahows”) raise fluffy nestlings in their underground nesting burrows, the Bermuda Cahow Cam is officially retiring from streaming on the Cornell Lab Bird Cams website in October 2024.

Even though the Bermuda Cahow Cam will no longer be streaming on Bird Cams, viewers can continue to watch the petrels raise their chicks live on cam during the breeding season on the Nonsuch Expeditions website.

We’re thankful to our gracious collaborators, Jean-Pierre Rouja at Nonsuch Expeditions and Senior Terrestrial Conservation Officer Jeremy Madeiros at the Bermuda Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Their tireless efforts have helped us share the lives of the Bermuda Petrels with the world through the live-streaming cameras located at the breeding colony on Nonsuch Island, Bermuda.

Not only have Nonsuch Expeditions and DENR’s efforts with the cams help spread awareness about one of the world’s most endangered seabirds, their ongoing conservation work continues to promote the protection, recovery, and management of this species that was once though to be extinct for more than 300 years.

Thanks to everyone who’s watched the Bermuda Cahow Cam on Bird Cams and learned along with us these past 8 seasons!
