  • Status and Conservation of the Reptiles and Amphibians of the Bermuda Islands
    Status and conservation of the reptiles and amphibians of the Bermuda islands Jamie P. Bacon1,2, Jennifer A. Gray3, Lisa Kitson1 1 Bermuda Zoological Society, Flatts FL 04, Bermuda 2 Corresponding author; email: [email protected] 3 Bermuda Government Department of Conservation Services, Flatts FL 04, Bermuda Abstract. Bermuda’s herpetofauna includes three species of amphibians, one fossil tortoise, two species of freshwater turtles, five species of marine turtles, and four species of lizards. The amphibians Eleutherodactylus johnstonei, E. gossei and Bufo marinus were all introduced in the late 1880s. Amphibian population declines, including the possible extirpation of E. gossei, prompted the initiation in 1995 of an on-going investigation. Research into the high deformity rates in B. marinus has indicated that survival and development of larvae are affected by contaminants in a number of ponds and by the transgenerational transfer of accumulated contaminants. Of the two emydid turtles in Bermuda, Malaclemys terrapin may be native and its population characteristics are being studied; Trachemys scripta elegans is considered invasive and efforts are underway to remove its populations from the wild. The sizeable resident Chelonia mydas population has been the focus of a mark- recapture study since 1968. Results indicate that Bermuda is currently an important developmental habitat for green turtles originating from at least four different nesting beaches in the Caribbean. Immature Eretmochelys imbricata also reside on the Bermuda Platform and genetics studies suggest that multiple Caribbean genotypes are represented in Bermuda’s hawksbill population. Caretta caretta do not appear to be regular inhabitants, but two known loggerhead nesting events have recently occurred (in 1990 and 2005) and post-hatchling loggerheads regularly strand after winter storms.

This British Overseas Territory enjoys a robust tourist economy thanks to its many natural gifts and legendary place in the lore of both naval and pirate history. Over 70,000 people happily make Bermuda their home, with St. George’s laying claim to the highest population at about 2,000, while the capital of Hamilton is even smaller. A treasure trove of caves (such as the famous Crystal Caves), coves like Horseshoe Bay Beach, and striking seaside strolls are distributed throughout the island. Historical points of interest include The Royal Naval Dockyard, St. Peter’s Church, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, Fort St. Catherine, Scaur Hill Fort, Admiralty House Park, and Fort Hamilton. The old streets of St. George’s are also well-known as a unique way to learn the story of Bermuda’s history via the legends behind the street names. 4 THE CONCIERGE CAMBRIDGE BEACHES 5 ABOUT US RichUnique with History WELCOME TO A SPECIAL KIND OF PARADISE Lush manicured gardens, intuitive staff and adults-only accommodations that reflect the timeless charm of this 355-year-old property.

Wingate Ian C.T. Nisbet Photo: Lynn Thorne Journal of Caribbean Ornithology jco.birdscaribbean.org ISSN 1544-4953 RESEARCH ARTICLE Vol. 33:33–42. 2020 birdscaribbean.org Historical review of information on terns nesting in Bermuda, with prospects for re-establishing some of the lost species David B. Wingate1 and Ian C.T. Nisbet2 Abstract The Bermuda Islands, a 57-km² atoll-like archipelago located at 32°19'N, 64°45'W, are the only truly oceanic islands in the northwestern Atlantic. Accounts of seabirds nesting at the time of settlement in the early 17th century suggest that sev- eral tern species, including the Brown Noddy (Anous stolidus), Sooty Tern (Onychoprion fuscatus), Bridled Tern (O. anaethetus), Least Tern (Sternula antillarum), Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii), and Common Tern (S. hirundo), might have been nesting on the islands. By the time that scientific documentation began in the mid-19th century, only the Roseate and Common Terns were confirmed to have survived, but overzealous collecting extirpated the Roseate Tern. The Common Tern survived into the 20th century and with legal protection has continued to nest on small rocky islets in sheltered sounds and harbors; one pair of Roseate Terns recolonized in 2018. This paper reviews historic records of terns, together with recent observations of transient migrants and nest-prospecting vagrants, including data from a 69-yr study of Common Terns (DBW unpubl.

  • Sea-To-Sea Sights
    [EB10SightsMain1.doc, Jeff Borg, 3,460 words] Sightseeing Sea-to-Sea Sights On these wondrous little islands, densely packed with old haunts, modern culture and natural beauty, visitors find more sights than anywhere else. Go ahead, tempt the Bermuda Triangle. Although tourists do occasionally go missing around Royal Naval Dockyard, they always reappear — often laden with shopping bags. Inspect the forts built over four centuries, see artefacts from the shipwreck that founded the colony, or climb the cast-iron lighthouse that still blazes a trail. Listen for blithe spirits in countless old houses, courts, and churches. Bermuda is an island-wide architecture tour, with buildings dating to 1620, antiques coming from Europe and furnishings carved from local cedar. Music, art and literature blend their styles from Britain, Africa and the Americas. Bagpipers carry on Scottish traditions, and painters still get inspired by the light. Every hillside, coast and townscape is like a postcard. Commune with Mother Nature on walking tours, in Victorian gardens or along decommissioned railway trails. Count the birds that fill the skies. Peer below the surface at aquariums, on boat tours, or strolling the sea bottom breathing in a helmet. Go underground for a stroll amongst the stalagmites. Nothing beats a personal tour by your own guide who knows the stories and how to tell them. Walks and talks covering any angle of Bermuda are tailored to families, groups and individuals with particular interests. What could be easier than a professionally scheduled family day to make sure everybody has a good time? Ask about Tim Rogers, of Bermuda Lectures & Tours, or Kay Latter, from Byways Bermuda, two well-experienced guides on the islands.
