A paper describing Frederic Leopold's Wood Duck nesting project which was later presented at Wood Duck Management and Research: A Symposium which was held on December 8-9, 1965. The paper covers several topics including the following: nest site selection, egg laying, predatory animals, egg incubation, hatching and departure of the ducklings, and how to handle orphaned ducklings. A table for the years 1943-1965 listing the number of nesting boxes available and used, the number of eggs laid and hatched, and the number of nests destroyed by predators is also included.

An essay written by Walter Rosene reporting the findings from a study of nesting Great Horned Owls that he and Bob Walker completed over the course of seven years from 1934-1939. Included in the report are the outcomes from the eggs that were laid and brooded each year, the record of the food found in the nest, and the behavior of the owls. In the seven year study of this particular nesting site, six young birds grew to maturity and left the nest, and all of them were banded.
