As of mid June 2025, we are sad to report that Frida, the female falcon, has not been seen on the Union County falcon cam, located on top of the Courthouse in the city of Elizabeth. For approximately six years, we have watched Frida successfully raise 26 chicks in this rooftop nest with Mango, the male falcon.
According to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the peregrine falcon is listed as a threatened species in the state of New Jersey. Frida was observed to be a fierce protector of this important urban nesting site.
