Abstract:

Each year the number of tourists visiting the Outer Banks increases. Crowds flock to Hatteras, Nags Head, and Duck, and Corolla has become \"the mecca of the well-heeled tourist.\" However, beyond Corolla lies what is called the Corolla Outback, a place of Spanish mustangs, wild pigs, and sand dunes that swallow stands of trees, traversed only by a four-wheel drive vehicle. Manuel takes the reader on a tour of this Outer Banks spot few vacationers get to see.

Abstract:

Four rail species live in the state - the clapper, king, Virginia, and sora. Rails are often called marsh hens because of their salt marsh habitats and chicken like build. Hunting rails goes back to the 1800s; they are a hard quarry to seek and find and attract only the hardiest of hunters. Lawrence describes where and how this bird is hunted.
