New Jersey’s bald eagle population has rebounded from a single nest in the 1970s to more than 250 pairs across all 21 counties, the state Department of Environmental Protection and Fish & Wildlife said in a social media post.
Acting Commissioner Ed Potosnak joined New Jersey Fish & Wildlife staff at Duke Farms during National Wildlife Week to band eagle chicks, according to the post.
The state said staff safely collected measurements and samples from the chicks and attached identification bands used to track movement, health and nesting success.
