Abstract:
This study investigated the species composition of land-based birds at sea during migration. Observations from 1975 to 1986 documented ninety-six species from the offshore waters of North and South Carolina. The results offer evidence for offshore movements by groups of birds other than nocturnal migrants, and suggest temporal changes in flock composition.

Abstract:
The tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) has expanded its range throughout North Carolina and the southeast, despite its reputation has a generally sporadic or irregular breeder. Research shows that land clearing, impoundments and other land use patterns, the reintroduction of beavers, and the use of bluebird boxes by swallows as nest sites appear to have facilitated the expansion.

Abstract:
Information is presented on the occurrence of five species of marine turtles in North Carolina waters. The leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles, the two most commonly occurring species, are emphasized. Unpublished records indicate that the leatherback typically occurs in North Carolina throughout the warmer months in relatively shallow shelf waters, and may not be an open-ocean wanderer.

Abstract:
Is it better to have a well-manicured lawn around a house, or one that remains in its natural state? Lee discusses the benefits of letting a yard go \"green\" and revert to its natural state. For example, a natural yard eliminates chemical and poison use, and also reduces use of water, thereby promoting conservation of resources.

Abstract:
In a unique approach to an article on birds, Lee takes a look at Shakespeare's plays and how he used birds \"to enhance his thoughts regarding superstition, tradition, the human spirit, and the beauty of nature.\" His use of birds far exceeded any of his contemporaries, either playwrights or authors. There are sixty-four kinds of birds mentioned in his combined works and they appear over six hundred times. About fifty of the birds are known to people living in the Eastern US.
