| Summary: | Across the state, the peregrine population totaled 19 pairs, remaining stable now for five years. In addition to the two natural nests, thirteen pairs nested on towers and buildings and four on bridges. Of the 13 pairs on towers and buildings, nine nested successfully, producing 26 young for a rate of 1.8 young/active nest. This is above the 1.7 average since 1986 when the population became stable. Five pairs occupied bridges spanning the NJ-PA border and three the NJ-NY border, of which New Jersey monitored two; two bridges entirely in New Jersey were active. Productivity on the bridges was 1.5 for three known-outcome nests in NJ. |
