Abstract:

The past one hundred years has seen the restoration of a number of animals in North Carolina, including the white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and black bears. They are now thriving in the state and across the nation. However there is one species that has not held its own--the bobwhite quail. Throughout its range the numbers of this game bird continue to decline. Wildlife managers have yet to determine why.
