Second Bald Eagle Sighting Near Millwood Reservoir
Our Daily Sliced Thin reports a new pair of bald eagles seen on Millwood Reservoir amid hopes they nest here. Officials note eagles travel from Northeast Arkansas in late winter to feed on shad, with permanent settlement possible due to new lakes. A $100 reward is offered for information leading to a conviction. The print color test is delayed as calibration issues persist with the Berkey color separator and Tri-Mask film replacement.
