Join Brent Martin on Sunday, May 17, to bird Alarka Laurel, a high-elevation bog and "hanging valley" in North Carolina's Cowee Mountains, renowned as the site of the southernmost surviving red spruce bog in the world. Expect to see Canada Warblers, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Scarlet Tanagers, and more. We'll we walking along the Walton Interpretive Trail and will likely see some interesting wildflowers along the way as well.
