Short Film:: Wild Jersey City by John Dunstan

By April 25, 2011August 6th, 2021No Comments

Here is a wonderful short film featuring urban wildlife in Jersey City. The footage features osprey, kingfishers, egrets and more. It’s always great to see people feature urban nature because there’s not nearly enough focus and exploration of the urban environment. Thanks to John Dunstan for sending me a link to his wonderful film to share.

“There is an increasing interest in wildlife close to and in urban areas, plus people are considering ways to integrate the two, this is all recorded in jersey city, which begins on the west bank of the hudson river directly across from manhattan, for me nature watching in an urban environment is special. At the end i have filmed my phone map so you can see where this is.”
