Abstract:

Since their inception, handcrafted duck decoys have made an incredible transition from a practical hunting tool to a valued art form. T. Edward Nickens, the author of The Last Wild Road, describes decoy collecting as something more than a small hobby; but a collection of "cherished memories of the Carolina Coast."

Abstract:

For birders (bird watchers), getting the chance to sight a female cerulean warbler is what some experts consider a "dream come true" and has become one of the most prized findings of western North Carolina. Currently, the cerulean population has seen a drastic decline since the mid-1960s, making it even more special to get a close look at this "bird of art." The best time to spot a cerulean is in early Spring, between late April and early May.
