DescriptionThis report provides an update on NJ's peregrine falcon population management and monitoring in 2008. The decline of the peregrine falcon in the eastern U.S. has been linked to persistent organochlorine pesticide contamination. The eastern population plunged from 350 active sites in the 1940's to no active breeding birds in 1964. Recovery efforts began in 1975 after DDT was banned in the U.S. The NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife and the Peregrine Fund first hacked falcons in 1975 and continued at several sites until pairs established territories. Population management focuses on monitoring nests, banding young, and improving conditions at nest sites in order to enhance productivity.
NotePurpose: To discuss the 2008 peregrine falcon survey.
