Abstract:
Factors threatening the Lake Sturgeon’s survival in North Carolina waterways include overharvesting and habitat degradation. The described approach is a response to the population crisis that places them in the species of special concern category. It begins with care in living tanks and food specially prepared by staff. It ends with the fishes' release, once they have acclimated to provisions resembling prey inhabiting the state's wild waters.

The shadows in the Mackay Island Natural Wildlife Refuge marshes are the King Rail. Introduced in a book by naturalist John James Audubon, this bird species is often seen only by birders and biologists, because of its shy nature and tendency to live in remote places.

Abstract:
Originally published in 1978, the article contains only new photos; the content is untouched. This reprint of Jim Dean’s day in the life account illustrates to the current staff that little has changed for the average Eastern North Carolinian duck hunter.

Abstract:
Snow bird, usually a descriptor for northerners who’ve moved south, is used here in reference to birds like Snow Geese. Flocking to North Carolina spots like Lake Mattamuskeet between November-February, Snow Geese prefer such areas because of land and water availability of plants like corn as well as the temperate winter weather.
