The Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Non-game Species Program (ENSP) biologists and volunteer observers located and monitored bald eagle nests and territories. A new record high of 40 eagle pairs was monitored during the nesting season; 35 of those were active(with eggs) and five more were territorial (in a nest area). Southern New Jersey continues to support the most nests (75%), while 7 were in central and 3 were in northern NJ. Twenty-five nests were successful in producing 41 young, for a productivity rate of 1.17 young per active nest.
