Abstract:

When North Carolina’s archery season begins in September, a key factor for bow hunters’ success is deducing what local whitetail deer will be eating. Deer in northeastern North Carolina have a reputation for growing large due to the abundance of crops. Understanding what kind of food deer eat can help hunters determine hunting positions.

Abstract:

The green salamander is North Carolina’s only endangered amphibian, and occurs in small populations in a few of the state’s southwestern mountain counties. In the past twelve years, most green salamander discoveries can be credited to Alan Cameron, a retiree and volunteer for Wildlife Diversity. Cameron has discovered new salamander sites, observed unreported behaviors and rare pigmentation patterns.

Abstract:

The second installment in a three-part series about the Mountains-To-Sea Trail focuses on North Carolina’s Piedmont Region, which unlike its Mountain neighbor, is still taking shape. The ability to complete the trail will depend largely on private landowners and their willingness to allow trail easements across their property.

Abstract:

Tiny holes, pockets and back eddies in North Carolina rivers are likely holding areas for trout because they are good hideouts, receive less fishing pressure, and have slow currents. Pocket-water trout are especially appealing to fishermen because they can approach close without spooking them. This article offers tips on pocket water identification and trout fishing techniques.

Abstract:

Ospreys are raptors, or birds of prey, that dive underwater in pursuit of fish. The males also perform an elaborate courtship display, dipping and diving in the air with loud cries while carrying a fish or nesting material to attract a mate. Coastal bird watchers in North Carolina can observe ospreys during their breeding season from early spring through late fall.

Abstract:

A wide variety of colors can be found among salamander species in North Carolina. While the hues some salamanders display may be related to species recognition, the colors and patterns of most species have a great deal to do with how they cope with predators. Color can be used as camouflage, mimicry, or a warning.
