Yesterday, Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ and NJ Endangered & Nongame Species Program staff released a rehabilitated bald eagle back into the wilds of NJ.   Eagles, as well as other raptors, have made a huge comeback in NJ, down to just a few birds in the 1980’s.  Today, CWF, with the help of volunteers, monitors approx. 150 nests.
