Hello,
I live in Hillsborough, NJ. There is a patch of woods next to my house where a peregrine falcon lives. I know this because I hear him/her every day. He also comes to my bird feeder fairly often to dine on my Mourning Doves and Blue Jays. A development company is starting to cut these woods down and I am wondering if anything can be done to stop this.

Your help is appreciated.

The appearance of an endangered species doesn't immediately qualify an area for protection, though nesting might.
Take a look at http://www.conservewildlifenj.org/protecting/projects/peregrine/ and try contact Ben Wurst (listed at the bottom)
There is information from the state about reporting a species at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/ensp/rprtform.htm
Let us know the outcome.

There are wolves in Jersey City, I saw one today around 4:50am on Route 440 coming from Bayonne into Jersey City,I started to take a photo but firefighters were responding to fire in the area and I couldn't.

My husband and I were tubing down the Egg Harbor River on Fri. Just before you take out at the Winding River Campground there is a small fisherman’s house. Next to it is a small sandy beach. I saw a large fawn colored cat with a long tail. It was about the same size as a collie. We were very close to it. It looked at us and then walked up to the edge of the beach and just sat. We got a good look at it. It did have pointed ears with kinda black fur on them. No strips or dots. I could not believe it. My husband said it was probably a Lynx but it did have a long tail. I never saw anything like that in the wild. It was thrilling to see it but when it came toward us I was scared. My husband said cats don’t line water so we were ok.
