Description
Summary:In 2009 the New Jersey peregrine falcon population increased to 24 known pairs. The increase was driven by bridges that were newly occupied or newly discovered. The peregrines on the Walt Whitman Bridge moved back into NJ from PA, and peregrines at two north Jersey sites (Rt. 3/Hackensack and the Newark Bay Bridge) were found mid-season with young. One site on the coast (Margate) was not occupied this year, but one new building site was discovered in Woodbridge. Four occupied territories were documented in cliff habitats.
