Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing the building of better nest boxes for the Barn Owl which simulate the natural nesting areas the Barn Owl use. The author talks about that the containers being used as nesting boxes are made from 250-275 gallon intermediate bulk containers. The author says that other barn owls around the country use smaller nesting boxes but the barn owl in North Carolina have been shown to no like using the smaller nesting boxes. The hope for the use of these larger nesting boxes is so that when barn owls are moved from where they are interfering with human activity they still have a safe nesting choice. The author is discussing that they are working to install these new nesting boxes in areas with active barn owl populations and are looking to install more nesting boxes.

Abstract:

One of the greatest and most influential conservation books ever published in the United States was published in 1949. The author was Aldo Leopold, and the book was A Sand County Almanac. Only Carson's Silent Spring and Thoreau's Walden are serious competitors. Wildlife biologists Pete Bromley and Phil Doerr discuss what Leopold's work says to citizens of North Carolina at the start of the twenty-first century.

Abstract:

The author states that by monitor the nest boxes of barn owls they will be able learn more about their populations and how they are distributed. The author states that they also want to learn barn owl nesting time, clutch size, and nest success. The questions the Barn Owl Project is trying to answer is: what factors play a role in occupancy, what happens to juveniles when they leave the nest, what is the distance the adults travel to hunt, and what is the frequency of adults returning to the nest. The author discusses that these answers can be obtained through banding of the Barn Owls.

Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing the detailed information that the North Carolina Wildlife Commission has on the striped bass. The first thing discussed by the author is that striped bass are androgynous and different parts of their life they in live in freshwater and saltwater. Striped bass move to fresh water to spawn and reproduce and the Roanoke River is where this occurs in North Carolina. The path the striped bass follows is Atlantic Ocean, Albemarle Sound, and then the Roanoke River to spawn. The striped bass will then spend around two to four years maturing in the Albemarle Sound before venturing off into the Atlantic Ocean. When the spawn hatch the currents will take them to the Roanoke River then to the Albemarle Sound. Since the life span of striped bass is around twenty years the process of migrating is repeated multiple time throughout their life. The striped bass is considered a popular sport fish but this would lead to them being over fished which occurred between 1970 and 1980. This lead to strict regulations to help increase the fish population. The North Carolina Wildlife Commission and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission was appointed to manage the striped bass.

Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing how one student, Davis, began teaching fly-fishing. Davis’ gained her passion for fly-fishing from her great uncle had been fly-fishing for a majority of his adult life. Davis states when they moved to Colorado their great uncle gave them a crash course in fly-fishing and they have been fly-fishing ever since. Davis was attracted to fly-fishing do to the creativity involved in the sport. They love to build their own fly-fishing rods and also the lures they use. Davis states that their favorite fish to catch is trout and goes on to describe that they are starting to get into catching largemouth bass and that catfish love to put up a fight when trying to catch them. The conservation education class was started by Matt Rieger which consisted of him sitting in front of a class with a HD camera focused on his work bench which had tools to attach different material to hooks to create lures for different fish species. The camera was hooked up to different TV screens throughout the class room. Now Alisa Davis a former student now teaches this same class.
