Abstract:

Migrating hawks know by instinct when to start, where to go, and how to get there. Each fall they follow well- established routes across North Carolina's mountains and coasts. Lee describes watching hawk migrations over the Outer Banks and lists sites along the coasts and in the mountains where the hawks may be viewed.

Abstract:

The North Carolina Wildlife Commission's three-year experimental teal season concludes September 7-16, 2000. Bag limit is four teal per hunter per day. Whether the teal season becomes permanent depends upon hunter response. Some feel September is too early for waterfowl hunting. Continuation also depends on whether or not state guidelines for accidental and illegal harvest of other ducks are followed.

Earley, Lawrence S.

Abstract:

Early-successional habitats are areas of a mountain forest that are beginning to recover from events like fires, storms, or logging. First come grasses, then shrubs, and finally trees. All of these stages are important to wildlife survival. Earley discusses the value of early-successional habitats for mountain wildlife, their growing rarity, and what steps are being taken to maintain them.
