October has not one, but two full moons -- and because it's 2020, the second one naturally falls on Halloween. That gives this year 13 full moons instead of the usual 12. ... October's first full moon was the harvest moon on October 1, and the second is a rare full Halloween blue hunter's moon.

The best thing about happy hour is to see all these beautiful birds: Boobie Birds returning to their nests, Cayman Brac parrot are endemic to the Cayman Islands which means they are found nowhere else in the world. They are protected species. In the Cayman Islands, there are some unique opportunities for birding, Cayman is home to more than 230 resident and migratory species and a great variety can be spotted right in the gardens of island residences. ... Thanks to the foresight and efforts of individuals here, as well as the nonprofit National Trust for the Cayman Islands, there are a number of protected bird sanctuaries on all three islands, where birds can often be viewed remarkably close up. https://www.caymancompass.com//cayman-s-fine-feathered-fr/

Little Cayman is being recognized as a Hope Spot because of the high abundance of threatened and endemic species found there. Just off the western point of Little Cayman is a site protected by the Cayman Islands Government that is one of the last remaining large spawning aggregation sites for the endangered Nassau grouper. Green, hawksbill and loggerhead turtles nest in the hundreds on Little Cayman’s beaches every year, and the coast is abundant with marine life, including s...even species of sharks. Little Cayman’s coral reefs are also a vibrant contributor to the island’s rich biodiversity. CCMI’s restoration and assisted evolution research efforts examine the features that enable corals to persist through time, despite changing conditions, including working with staghorn and elkhorn coral. Both of these coral species are critically endangered following a disease outbreak and die-off in the 1980s. They are crucial reef-builders that used to be prevalent throughout the Caribbean, and they are extremely important to the resiliency of healthy coral reefs. Little Cayman’s biodiversity both on land and in the ocean are significant, and CCMI’s scientific discoveries continue to grow our knowledge of these key ecosystems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug6aVB6nFco&feature=youtu.be
