Thank you Mr. Lukei. Always interesting and educational to see where they are headed.
Thanks, Reese. It’s always nice to see how our “children” are doing.
Alrighty! If these kids will kindly hang around there til this weekend I’ll go looking for them! It’s a short journey to King George landfill and the Rappahannock from here! Reese, thanks for all the info.
..So young ones don’t like NC catfish or never had one…Come on down and taste…These guy’s are here there and everywhere..Thank you Reese
Thanks, Reese.
I didn’t go looking for them. The light was just not good enough most of the weekend. Sorry.
Eagle nest 1601 has been rebuilding since late Sept. Nest really has grown. They are working in the early hours between 7-10 am. Nice to see them both working at it.
