On an NJMC pontoon boat trip earlier this month, we saw nesting Ospreys, as well as Yellow-crowned Night Herons, Black Skimmers and Peregrine Falcons.

What do they all have in common?

Answer below.

All four species are on New Jersey’s Endangered (Peregrine Falcon and Black Skimmer) or Threatened (Yellow-crowned Night Heron and Osprey) list.
