Abstract:
Woodcocks and snipes spend the summer in New England and Canada and winter in North Carolina. Although these reclusive game birds frequent boggy areas in forests and have many characteristics of upland game birds, they are actually shorebirds that moved inland over time. Earley compares the birds.

Abstract:
Six rail species inhabit North Carolina, with the king rail the largest and the black rail the smallest. Earley describes the clapper rail, one of four rails that breed in the state. Rails are often called marsh hens because of their salt marsh habitats and chicken-like build and are more easily heard than seen.

Two species of ibis have settled on Battery Island in the Cape Fear River--the white ibis and the glossy ibis. Around 9,000 pairs of white ibises nest there. Glossy ibis are rare in the state and only a dozen pairs were found there.

Abstract:
Nearly twenty species of songbirds that nest in North Carolina have had a decline in population over the past two decades. Annual breeding bird surveys over that period confirm this. Birds affected include the cardinal, mockingbird, bluejay, towhee, and meadowlark. Habitat destruction is affecting not only state nesters but also those in tropical rain forests.

Abstract:
Earley describes a way of fishing along North Carolina's coasts that is slowly disappearing--long-haul net fishing.

In the 1970s and 1980s, around a dozen long-haul crews worked Core Sound, but it 2007, the number has been reduced to two crews.

Abstract:
The wall in the title refers to the area in North Carolina where the soft sedimentary rock of the Coastal Plain meets the hard crystalline rock of the Piedmont. Such a meeting causes river rapids, such as Smiley's Falls in the Cape Fear River. For merchants and farmers living upstream in the 19th-century, the rapids blocked commercial traffic and goods from getting to market. Earley describes North Carolina's effort to overcome the rapids and open the river to traffic.

Abstract:
During the era of wooden ships trade of naval stores was indispensable but fell off with the development of non-wooden hull types. A resurgence in the demand for tar increased in the mid-19th-century because of evolving field of petrochemicals. Throughout both periods the industry thrived in the state because of the density of long-leaf pine trees, a major source of resin for tar.

Abstract:
Unfortunately, it is a familiar site in rural North Carolina--the loss of the state's rural heritage is growing. Rural preservationists face the problem of vacant and decaying buildings and the loss of physical evidence of the state's former predominantly agricultural culture.

Abstract:
Wilmington-based Cape Fear Riverwood Corp. recovers centuries-old logs from the bottom of the Cape Fear River. Loggers from the late 1700s to early 1900s floated them downriver. Many that sank along the route are rare old-growth cypress, loblolly pine and longleaf pine between 300 and 700 years old. Earley describes how the logs are found and then processed. Once cut, the wood is used in flooring, furniture, and house building.
