Abstract:

Englishman George Roe is fascinated by hawks. He has painted four of our most common species in all their grace and awesome power-the red shouldered hawk, sharp-shinned hawk, Cooper's hawk, and red-tailed hawk. He received his artistic training at a number of schools in England, including the Cambridge School of Art. For twelve years after graduation he taught school and painted portraits. He became so successful that in 1970, he gave up teaching to become a full-time artist and to pursue his first love, painting wildlife.

Abstract:

Taylor reports on the state's ongoing deer restoration project. The first serious attempts at restoration took place in the 1890s on the Biltmore Estate near Asheville. By the 1930s there were only a few thousand left in North Carolina. However, current work by the North Carolina Wildlife resources Commission has brought the statewide population back to between 400,000 and 500,000.
