Geese Marked For Study At Two North Carolina Refuges
Plastic neck collars and leg bands plus aluminum tags were placed on 400 Canada geese at Matamuskeet and Pungo National Wildlife Refuges this winter. Two hundred geese at Matamuskeet wear yellow collars. two hundred at Pungo wear red collars. Each collar and band bears a black number with a prefix letter C on yellow and P on red, followed by digits. The program aims to map movements between refines and other coastal North Carolina populations and between north and south areas.

Atrocity over bears in NC cages sparks reform push
A report details cruel captive bears in North Carolina, taunted by patrons and kept for business rather than wildlife. It notes Grandfather Mountain as a rare humane refuge, cites Wildlife Commission plans to tighten permits, and urges curbing private bear caging to protect a state bear population of 1200 to 2000 and support sanctuaries.
