ABSTRACT: The lofty Plott Balsam Mountains of western North Carolina are one of the most rugged, wild, and scenic mountain ranges in the southern Appalachians. Although largely unexplored ornithologically until recent years, the range is covered by a wide variety of plant communities inhabited by a rich and diversified avifauna. This paper provides an annotated checklist of bird species and brief ecological and vegetational data as a baseline for future studies in the region.
