A peregrine falcon family nesting on the Bayonne Bridge welcomed two chicks just before Mother's Day, with two more expected to hatch soon. This success follows years of conservation efforts led by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which have collaborated with environmental agencies to ensure safe nesting sites for this previously endangered species. Though delisted federally in 1999, peregrine falcons remain endangered in New York, necessitating ongoing protection efforts like the maintenance of nesting towers. The public can observe these birds via a livestream.
The successful hatching of two peregrine falcon chicks on the Bayonne Bridge signifies a vital step in the conservation efforts of the species, still endangered in New York.
The Port Authority has worked for over 30 years to create safe nesting locations, resulting in successful hatches that contribute positively to the peregrine falcon population.
