BCR 29
Piedmont

The Piedmont is transitional
between the mountainous Appalachians and the flat coastal
plain, and is dominated by pine and mixed southern hardwoods.
Priority landbirds include Red-cockaded
Woodpecker, Bachman's
Sparrow, and Brown-headed Nuthatch.
Interior wetlands, reservoirs, and riverine systems provide
migration and wintering habitat for waterfowl and some shorebirds.
The fragmented patchwork of pasture, woodlots, and suburban
sprawl that now dominates most of this region creates significant
bird conservation challenges.
