Cape May Hawkwatch: A Front-Row Seat to the Fall Raptor Migration

 The Cape May Hawkwatch offers bird enthusiasts a chance to witness the fall migration of hawks, falcons, and eagles. From October to November, Bald Eagles, falcons, and other raptors fill the skies at Cape May Point State Park, drawing birdwatchers from across the country. What makes this experience unforgettable is the chance to witness incredible interactions between birds. A Bald Eagle might steal a fish from an Osprey, or a Peregrine Falcon may swoop past a slower hawk. These moments, where powerful raptors vie for dominance, keep birders returning year after year. Cape May is renowned as one of the best birding spots in the world, and each fall, it becomes a magnet for bird lovers eager to experience the magic of migration. 

Legal Action Looms After Fatal NJ Transit Crash Linked to Neglected Track Safety

 Jessica Haley, a New Jersey Transit light rail operator, was killed when her train collided with a fallen tree in Burlington County. Her family is suing NJ Transit, claiming it failed to address ongoing safety issues related to fallen trees on the tracks. The crash also injured 23 passengers. According to the family's attorney, Haley’s death was preventable, and previous complaints about tree hazards had been ignored. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident.

New Jersey’s Drought Worsens as Severe Conditions Spread Across the State

New Jersey’s drought has worsened, with the entire state now classified as abnormally dry. The drought has also led to dry irrigation ponds and may trigger outdoor burn warnings and water usage restrictions. Additionally, the lack of rain has heightened concerns for local farmers, who are already preparing to feed livestock due to the lack of forage. With no rain in the forecast and October following a record dry September, the state's drought is expected to intensify. Restrictions and warnings may be issued in the coming days.
