Bill Pitts will discuss the evolution of New Jersey’s American Kestrel Nest Box Project, from its preliminary findings in 2004 to nest box installations in 2006 and its current initiatives. Through the years, it has expanded by growing public and private partnerships and spawned various research projects. There were many lessons learned along the way that Pitts will share with us, not the least of which was the listing of American kestrel as an endangered species in 2012.

Bill Pitts has been a senior zoologist with the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program since 2005, and has worked with the American Kestrel Nest Box Project since 2012.
