  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Observations of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mustela frenata&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Long-tailed Weasel) are rare within the southern Appalachians, while observations of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tamias striatus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Eastern Chipmunk) are uncommon in high-elevation spruce-fir forests. We conducted camera-trap surveys at Roan Mountain Highlands, Mitchell County, NC, during summer 2016 in a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Picea rubens&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Red Spruce)—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Abies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;fraseri&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Fraser Fir) forest. During the survey, we observed a Long-tailed Weasel at 1893 m in elevation and an Eastern Chipmunk at 1703 m in elevation. These are the highest-elevation records for both species in the eastern United States outside of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the highest elevation record for Longtailed Weasel in North Carolina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
