## Resource

If you live in Alaska or Greenland, it's no big deal to see Snow Buntings, but when one appears in Ashe County NC birders flock to see it. "This Week At Hilton Pond North" we chronicle in our “Deep Dive” podcast our visit to see this wayward Arctic bird on a grassy bald in Pond Mountain Gamelands, where another rare avian species also appeared. After listening to this podcast you can view the complete photo essay at https://www.hiltonpondnorth.org/twahpn-20251201.html Happy Nature Watching—And Listening!
