Did You Know?
There've been significant bird fossils found including bones from rails, ducks, Hibbard’s Swan, a cormorant, and a songbird the size of a sparrow. A particularly rare find was a humerus from the Hagerman mole, Scapanus hagermanensis, one of only a handful of mole fossils ever found in Idaho.
