Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing the detail about the Barn Owl Project. The author is discussing the historical changes of where barn owls nest which was silos and barns which are becoming fewer. The author states that hunters have been helping out with creating new nesting areas for barn owls without even knowing through the installation of permanent deer hunting boxes. This is what started the Barn Owl Project in which started the creation of original nesting boxes. These nesting boxes would be installed on private properties but this lead to another question which was how could they tell if a barn owl population was present. The Barn Owl Project think had the idea that the nest boxes were too small for North Carolina barn owls which preferred larger nesting boxes. The Barn Owl Project also learned that just installing nesting box on a property does not mean that barn owls will use it unless there is already a barn owl population present.

Abstract:

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and N.C. State University are tracking black bear movement in and around Asheville. This study is groundbreaking because it studies the habits of urban bears. Biologists have set up traps throughout Asheville and has collect3ed data on 153 different bears over the past three years by outfitting them with GPS radio collars, tattooing the bears, and attaching ear tags. The study will help determine if Asheville lies along a dispersal corridor for bears, as well as a source or sink population bears.

Abstract:

Since the mid-20th-century, small game, including quail and rabbits, has been declining in the state. To stem this loss, the North Carolina Division of Wildlife and Management established a program called CURE, or Cooperative Upland-Habitat Restoration and Enhancement. Pipkin and Sharpe discuss the program's progress on game lands, including Sandhills, Suggs Mill Pond, South Mountain, and on public lands.

Abstract:

This is the fourth in a series describing the North Carolina Wildlife Commission's game lands. These are areas open to hunting by the public during the regular season. A special games land permit is required to hunt on these managed lands. The Western Game Lands, at 655,298 acres, is one of the smaller of the state's four game lands. This area includes the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests, Caney Fork, Green River, and Toxaway Lands, plus several tracts owned by Champion International Corporation.

Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing where to look for sheds, when deer shed their antlers. The author states that bucks do not look for specific areas to shed their antlers but that it just happens during their daily habits. The author states that it is important to know how the deer uses their landscape in the areas that you are looked for antlers they have shed. Deer spend a majority of their time laying and bedding down. The deer have specific areas they got to eat and also travel the same paths routinely. The author states that these are the areas that you will most likely find shed antlers. Feeding areas do not only include plots of food and areas used for agriculture. During the winter months these areas do not have many food options for deer so the go to winter browsing areas which include tinder new growth for woody plants. Ken Knight who is a biologist for the Commission Supervising Wildlife states that bucks that have poor health and rough conditions tend to lose their antlers in early mid-December. Lastly Ken states that you can find antlers near fences because bucks tend to lose them when trying to fit through or jump over the fence.

Abstract:

Chemists have demonstrated that a group of compounds called phyto-estrogens, found in a number of common plant species, produce in some animals the same infertile effects that the birth control pill produces in women. This discovery raises questions regarding the rate of plant extinction and implications for both humans and wildlife.
