Title: Long Lost Critters.................

Although this could probably fit under the General Nature section....

Before Falcon Watching, I volunteered for quite a few years, working at this site.  Long days, but lots of fun.  You never knew what would be dug out of the swamp land next.  I actually got to hold a Mastodon tusk!  Very cool!   :clap:

When Carol found out that we lived in Byron (only 3 miles from the dig site), she had shared with me about her volunteering there. It's comprised of 52 acres of which only about 1/4 of the area has been explored so far and it's one of the largest ongoing digs in the world. Here's some pics:
