Abstract:

There has been a decline in quail and seventeen other bird species associated with farming and weedy, grassy, brushy habitats in North Carolina and other Southeastern states. Bromley, Bill Palmer, and Marc Puckett investigated whether pesticides and drainage ditch management were possible causes. Results are reported. Also included is a set of nine questions, which the author says will be a large, complex research project seeking to account for the decline, and which he hopes will be answered by the end of the century.
