Re: Location



The foothills are technically part of the piedmont.  It is where the
piedmont meets the mountains.  This makes this part of the state(NC) good
for birding because we get a mixture of piedmont birds (i.e. Prothonotary
Warblers) and mountain birds (i.e. Ruffed Grouse) that breed here.  Hope
this clear things up for some of you.
