From the bobcats and black bears that inhabit the northwest of the state to the peregrine falcons that nest atop a Jersey City skyscraper and the harbor seals that pass through the Edison Boat Basin, there is an abundance of wildlife in New Jersey.
Just ask David Wheeler, founder of the nature blog “Wild New Jersey” and director of operations for the Edison Wetlands Association. Wheeler spent nearly a year in 2008 and 2009 scouring the entire state detailing its wildlife, the results of which can be found in his first book, “Wild New Jersey: Nature Adventures in the Garden State.” The book will be released in February 2011 through Rutgers University Press. An excerpt is currently featured in the Rutgers University Press Fall/Winter 2010 Catalog, which was just released.
