When Jim Parker went to the salt marsh on Spring Hill Road, he was expecting to find signs of migrating birds.
Instead, he found the remains of a rare Atlantic sturgeonâan endangered sea creature considered to be a living fossil.
Mr. Parker said that it was found on Sunday, March 25, in the Jones Conservation Lands, a considerable distance from the shore.
âThat marsh is subject to tidal flooding, especially during a full moon,â Mr. Parker said. âI had thought that it may have been swimming in the flooded marsh and got beached as the tide water receded.â
The Big Sky state of Montana attracts an eclectic bunch of outdoorsmen and -women. The town of Bozeman showcases just about all of them. The key to loving the great outdoors is finding your way to play, whether it be hiking for an afternoon ski down Bradweyâs or taking a quick morning lap on Levepoor before work. As you might consider a tent to be necessary to ensure a dry night of sleep, seasons are essential for whichever outdoor adventure you desire. With the changing climate, some seasons may flourish while others may wither.
In our whimsical little town, you could find yourself summiting Sacajawea Peek at sunset with the mountain goats meandering about.

The agency ultimately launched a multi-year repair effort that required it to lower the lakeâs water surface to 1,350 to 1,355 feet above sea level.
COLUMBIA â A proposed housing development has drawn attention from Friends of Rock Bridge Memorial State Park.
The Gans Wild Area is also home to Gans Creek. Friends of Rock Bridge Memorial State Park say the creek could be contaminated by storm runoff from the new development. I m actually a part of Friends of Rock Bridge, said Rob Hill, developer of the proposed Canton Estates. The property is southeast of East Gans Road and South Bearfield Road.
Hill also developed Parkside Estates, which is on the northwest border of the state park and has homes listed in the $325,000 to $650,000 range. He said he gave very specific concessions to environmental advocates during the Parkside project.
