When I lived in New Jersey I enjoyed watching the Monks that lived on the Jersey Side of the Hudson River. They could be seen all year long in Ridgefield Park or Cliffside Park and are still there till this day. Their nests are amazing and the noise they make deafening. Check out this story from the BirdChick. I only found her recently but really enjoy reading her stories.Click the link below:
