The New Jersey peregrine population continued to hold steady with seventeen pairs active: twelve nested on towers and buildings and five on bridges. Of 12 pairs on towers and buildings, eight nested successfully, producing 21 young for a rate of 1.75. This is right on the 1.7 average since 1986 when the population became stable. Four pairs occupied bridges spanning the NJ-PA border and three the NJ-NY border, of which New Jersey monitored five; three bridges entirely in New Jersey were not all active. Bridge sites were inconsistent and difficult to track, and access to three bridges was limited. Productivity on the major bridges was 1.20 for three known-outcome nests.
