The Star-Ledger: These adventures have nothing to do with the 'Shore' cast

As David Wheeler surveyed New Jersey's natural spaces, it was not so much the wildlife itself that impressed him.
It was the unlikeliness of it all — majestic creatures making their comebacks in nooks and crannies and at the edges of suburbia and industrial developments. He was enchanted by the fact that someone waiting in traffic on the Bayonne or Newark Bay bridges, for instance, might easily spy a peregrine falcon.
Wheeler, a naturalist, authored the just-released "Wild New Jersey: Nature Adventures in the Garden State" (Rutgers University Press, $19.95) — a guide, of sorts, to the untamed bits of our state and the creatures that inhabit it.
