Abstract:

The North Carolina General Assembly enacted the Nongame Wildlife Tax Checkoff in 1983. This allows citizens to contribute a part or all of their state income tax refund to the management of nongame and endangered wildlife. Funds from this program are supporting the reintroduction of peregrine falcons and eagles to the skies of North Carolina.

Abstract:

Falcons bred in captivity at Cornell University will be reintroduced along the east coast in hopes of increasing the wild population.
