Most folks know of Duke Farms as the home of nesting (and endangered) Bald Eagles, but the stars of the Eagle Cam aren’t the only at-risk birds that have found a home on the 2,740-acre property in Hillsborough, N.J.

My latest posts for Duke Farms' blog discusses what is done to help the other 12 nesting species that are considered endangered, threatened or of special concern, ranging from  a small falcon called an American Kestrel to a quartet of rare sparrows (Vesper, Grasshopper, Henslow's, and Savannah Sparrow).

The posts also feature some wonderful photography by Kevin Watson, including the photo above.

The links are here and here.
