Hi Idaho Falls! I’m so excited to connect with you by video for the first time as your Mayor. I hope to continue sharing these updates throughout my time in office as a way to keep you informed about what’s happening in our city and to give you a little behind-the-scenes look at city government. So much has happened just in the last day. City Council members were sworn in, a final plat public hearing was held, a PUD hearing took place, and City Council voted to move regular City Council meetings

Birds that snowbird? Yep! 🐦☀️ When Idaho winter hits, our African birds head to their warm indoor home, the African Bird Room! With several connected spaces, they can explore, stretch their wings, and enjoy the cozy temps all season long. #TidbitTuesday #IdahoFallsZoo #AfricanBirds #ZooLife #WildlifeEducation #WinterAtTheZoo | Idaho Falls Zoo

Most people picture camels in hot deserts, but their wild home, the Gobi Desert, gets freezing in the winter. 🐪❄️ That’s why our camels grow a heavy winter coat to stay warm, and shed it again in spring. They’re built for Idaho’s cold months! #TidbitTuesday #IdahoFallsZoo #CamelFacts #ZooLife #WildlifeEducation | Idaho Falls Zoo

Can you spot the difference? 🐧 Our penguin flock consists of 18 African penguins, each with its own unique belly pattern, much like fingerprints. Our keepers use colored wing bands to tell who’s who: ladies on the left, gentlemen on the right. #TidbitTuesday #IdahoFallsZoo #AfricanPenguin #PenguinFacts #ZooLife #ZooAnimals #WildlifeEducation #BehindTheScenes #TautphausParkZoo #AnimalCare | Idaho Falls Zoo
