First Peregrine Chick Hatched in Jersey City!

[The Broken One]

The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is excited to inform the public that the first of four eggs being incubated in the Nestbox atop 101 Hudson Street in Jersey City has hatched.  Staff is monitoring the live feed and still images from two webcams - hopefully we'll soon observe the hatching of the three remaining eggs. The public is encouraged to join us as we watch!

Nestbox News chronicles the nestbox activity, providing detailed information and photos of each year's activity. For this year's edition visit http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/peregrinecam/jcp-2013nestnews.htm - there are links to the live video as well as current still images from that page.  To view the live stream go to http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/peregrinecam/jcp-live.htm .

The public is reminded that the webcam, along with other activities of the division's Endangered and Nongame Species Program, relies on public support.  Donations can be made to the program via the state Income Tax Check-off ( http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/ensp/checkoff.htm ) and Conserve Wildlife License Plates ( http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/ensp/plates.htm ).  Additionally, support is from The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ, a non-profit organization.  To make a donation to the CWF, go directly to their Donate Now Web site at

  Cool. It's amazing how cameras can be placed anywhere, recording anything, with the images broadcast around the world via the web, for everyone to view.
