This is our third webcam this week from Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey. Today's webcam focuses on one of New Jersey's favorite success stories - bald eagles.
Eagles have made a fantastic recovery in New Jersey and across the eastern United States. In our state, we have gone from a single nesting pair at a failing nest through the early 1980s, to 300+ pairs in 2020.
Three Bridges, a community in Readington Township in Hunterdon County is where eagles have nested on top of an electric transmission tower since 2015 and have successfully raised 14 young. The towers were replaced by monopoles. PSE&G worked with Conserve Wildlife Foundation, NJDFW Endangered and Nongame Species Program, and US Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that the Three Bridges eagles would have every opportunity to continue nesting here.
