Here's some highlights from our 2024 research season:
Launching the Hatch 100 Project
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Hatch 100, our ambitious new initiative focused on increasing the American Kestrel population in Central New Jersey. Through nest box installations, habitat restoration, and monitoring, we aim to bolster this declining species and give it a brighter future.
A Record Migration Season
This year, we documented 202 Northern Saw-whet Owls during their migration—our second-best year on record! These tiny, elusive owls continue to teach us so much about their migratory patterns, and we’re proud to contribute valuable data to better understand and protect them.Tracking New Frontiers
In a significant step forward, we successfully deployed five GPS tracking units, two for Northern Saw-whet Owls and three for Long-eared Owls. These devices provide critical insights into their movements and habitat use, helping us advance conservation efforts for these species.Exciting Discoveries at Fiddler’s Creek Preserve
