Summary of Laws Relating to the Seasons, Licenses, 



Limits, Sale and Export 



The dates of open seasons for migratory game birds shown under 

 the various states and provinces are the times when these birds may 

 be hunted without violating either state laws or federal regulations. 

 Federal regulations now prohibit shooting from sunset to half an hour 

 before sunrise. 



The regulations under the federal migratory-bird treaty act pro- 

 hibit throughout the United States the killing at any time of the follow- 

 ing birds: 



Band-tailed pigeon; little brown, sand-hill, and whooping cranes; 

 wood duck, eider ducks, swans; curlews, willet, upland plover, and all 

 shorebirds (except the black-bellied and golden plovers. Wilson snipe 

 or jacksnipe, woodcock, and the greater and lesser yellowlegs) ; cuckoos; 

 flickers and other woodpeckers; nighthawks or bull-bats and whip- 

 poor-wills; swifts; hummingbirds; flycatchers; bobolinks, meadow- 

 larks and orioles; grosbeaks; tanagers; martins and other swallows; 

 waxwings; shrikes; vireos; warblers; pipits; catbirds and brown 

 thrashers; wrens; brown creepers; nuthatches; chickadees and tit- 

 mice; kinglets and gnatcatchers; robins and other thrushes; and all 

 other perching birds which feed entirely or chiefly on insects; and 

 also auks, auklets, bitterns, fulmars, gannets, grebes, guillemots, gulls, 

 herons, jaegers, loons, murres, petrels, puffins, shearwaters and terns. 



In some states certain days of the week constitute close seasons 

 throughout the time in which killing is permitted. Hunting on Sunday 

 is prohibited in all states and provinces east of the one hundred and 

 fifth meridian except Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin, 

 and Quebec. Mondays constitute a close season for waterfowl locally 

 in Maryland and North Carolina; and certain other week days for 

 waterfowl in several favorite ducking grounds in Maryland, Virginia, 

 and North Carolina. Hunting is prohibited on election day in Mary- 

 land in Allegany, Baltimore, Cecil, Charles, Frederick, and Harford 

 counties; and when snow is on the ground in New Jersey, Delaware, 

 Virginia, and Maryland. 



The county laws of North Carolina, which are too numerous to be 



included satisfactorily, are not incorporated in the following summary, 



which otherwise may be regarded as a practically complete resume of 

 the regulations now in force.
