## Resource

Fall hayfever? No, NOT from glorious goldenrod, a common roadside native that plays important ecological roles and gets a bad rap about autumn sneezes. Just as important are its pollinators, from bees to beetles, butterflies to wasps. In our “Deep Dive” podcast of "This Week at Hilton Pond North" we explore all this, with info on a blue-hued warbler, a weasel reprise, and a tally of birds banded. After listening to this podcast you can view the complete photo essay at https://www.hiltonpondnorth.org/twahpn-20250822.html Happy Nature Watching—And Listening!
