At this time of year, nests start getting active! In North, America raptors are setting up housekeeping, and the Petrels in Bermuda are doing the same. There are also terrific general wetland viewing cams this year and the Panama Fruit Feeder – not to be missed! We have ten sites we are following now, so bookmark the links so you can watch them – some are just getting started and will be very active after the holidays. You won’t want to miss them!
