 Louisiana Water Thrush, Worm-eating and Kentucky Warblers 

 occur in their greatest abundance.

The Appalachian District - Between the first hills 

 and the main crest of the Alleghanies is a series of sharp 

 ridges broken by the various river valleys. In this region 

 as well as along the lower slopes of the Alleghanies, the 

 Carolinian species grow rare and are mainly confined to the
