This book starts off by describing how Vermont was work over in the past and how it will be worked over in the future and how the Vermont Department of fish and wildlife will sustain vermont resources by using conservation. It also discussed concepts that are crucial to understand how not to damage the environment. Types of habitats were mention and what type of creature use them as homes and how not to damage them.
In my section of the book it basically talks about ruffed grouses and Turkeys. Ruffed grouses reproduce during spring, and are hunted by animals such as foxes, hawks, raccoon, and so on. Females lay 9 to 14 eggs, usually in a nest in a tree. Grouses eat fruits, acorns, seeds of aspen, and many more plants. They habitat trees such as aspen and paper birch. Aspen is recognized as a key tree in ruffed grouse management. Turkeys are associated with oak and beech trees. Reproductive cycle begins in April when the males start gobbling. They ley 10 to 15 eggs. They walk on land, only flying short distances when startled. They eat grasses, insets, blossoms, and so on. The home range for turkeys is aprox. 1,000 acres.
In pages 26-36 of A Landowners Guide the the main points are the American woodcock (Scolopax minor) and waterfowls such as mallards and wood ducks. Key Points: Woodcocks are migratory, they stay nest in abandoned fields and forest openings. The reading on waterfowls was fairly vague due to the broadness of the topic. The reading did suggest some books, but I would suggest checking the Wiki page on waterfowls of a specific type if you want to learn more.
