For the last 10 years, a family of endangered red-shouldered hawks has nested in Allendale and nearby Ramsey. To chronicle their struggles and triumphs, local nature writer Jim Wright and photographer Jerry Barrack have created “Survival: The Red-shouldered Hawks of Allendale, N.J."

 The book also features wonderful photos by other local nature photographers, a locator map with the hawk’s nesting sites from 2002 to 201, and an interview with Celery Farm Warden Emeritus Stiles Thomas, who has followed the hawks’ triumphs and tragedies for the past decade, and .

The signed, limited edition of the 72-page book is filled with great photos of these hawks over the past decade. The hard-cover book sells for $36.95.

Other books by Wright and Barrack include “In the Presence of Nature” (the coffee-table book about the Celery Farm) and “Duck Enough to Fly.” They are available at Rohsler’s,  Wild Birds Unlimited and Wild Bird Emporium as well.

The Red-shouldered Hawks have nested on Iroquois Ave., Arlton Ave., Harreton Road, Franklin Turnpike and Grey Ave. in Allendale and Buckingham Drive in Ramsey.
