Bermuda Cahows Return To Bird Cams In 2024!

After months of internet instability prevented reliable livestreaming of the Bermuda Cahow Cams on Nonsuch Island, Bermuda, connections have been restored for the rest of the 2024 breeding season! Now’s your chance to follow some of the world’s most rare and endangered seabirds live on cam as they attempt to finish raising their single chick to fledging on the Bermuda Cahow Cam 1.

Catching Up: In 2024, the female from the Cahow Cam 1 burrow returned to lay a single egg on January 7, and she tag-teamed incubation duties with her mate for 51 days until their chick hatched on February 27. Since hatching, the chick has grown into a lofty ball of down and is now old enough to spend time in the nesting burrow alone. Both parents are spending their time foraging over the Atlantic Ocean, only returning to the burrow to feed their nestling every few days. If all goes well, we hope to catch the young petrel’s first flight out to sea on the Bermuda Cahow Ocean View Cam in early June.

Cahow Cam 2 Update: The breeding pair from the Cahow Cam 2 burrow also returned this season, and the female laid an egg on January 26. Unfortunately the egg failed to hatch in 2024, and the adults have ceased their breeding efforts.

The Bermuda Cahow Cams are made possible by our partners at Nonsuch Expeditions. Be sure to follow updates about Cahow Cam 1 throughout the rest of the season on Twitter/X @BermudaCahowCam.
