Abstract:
There has been a decline in quail and seventeen other bird species associated with farming and weedy, grassy, brushy habitats in North Carolina and other Southeastern states. Bromley, Bill Palmer, and Marc Puckett investigated whether pesticides and drainage ditch management were possible causes. Results are reported. Also included is a set of nine questions, which the author says will be a large, complex research project seeking to account for the decline, and which he hopes will be answered by the end of the century.

Abstract:
Prescribed burning, or the controlled burning of woodlands, helps restore the ecosystem by reducing the chances of wildfires, improving food growth for animals and birds, and controlling parasites. Despite the benefits to wildlife, the question arises whether it is desirable or disastrous to burn during the wild turkey nesting season. The authors report on a study of nesting-season controlled burns conducted on 100,000 acres at Fort Bragg. Information is provided on how the impact of the fire was determined, the results, and fire recommendations for turkey management.
