Abstract:

From March to September the melodic cooing of a mourning dove can be heard across the state. The bird is a joy to birders and a target for hunters. It is also the only game bird that breeds in all forty-eight continental states. Amundson discusses the dove's history, characteristics, breeding and food habits, enemies, and migration patterns.

Abstract:

In 1897, the state's last native beavers were trapped in Stokes County. Several unsuccessful attempts to reintroduce beavers were made in the early 20th century. However, in 1939, 29 beavers from Pennsylvania were released in the Sandhills Wildlife Management Area near Rockingham. By 1949, 385 beavers were counted. Wildlife biologists do not expect beavers to spread over the state from this nucleus.

Abstract:

The coexistence of animals can be both good and bad. While a cat used for hunting mice and rats on a farm may get the occasional quail, the quail eggs can be transported to a different area where a hen will sit dutifully on them until hatched.
