These photos are from The Record's Pam Clark.  She writes, "Last week at Arlington Township Cemetery, the peonies were in full bloom. My great grandfather Charles Ford and his son, Art planted all these beautiful plants many years ago. They are a living legacy to these two men who were sextons at the cemetery for a combined total of 70 years. Our current sexton, Clint Thomsen, and his assistant, Jeff Locke, have done a marvelous job this spring of keeping the cemetery mowed and trimmed. It looks beautiful.  Thanks, guys, for all your hard work."

The Record's Pam Clark took these photos last week of the Midway eagles.  One parent is always on guard in a nearby tree. If anyone approaches it gives the signal for the eaglets to duck down in the nest. 

Pam also spotted a robin's nest with 3 little ones, right beside the door going into the Moville Senior Center.  And there is an owl photo as well.

The Record's Pam Clark drove past Bob & Rae Doversberger's iris bed on E 2nd St. It's just gorgeous with all flowers in bloom.

This was the scene across the street from The Record's Kingsley office on May 23. Lumber Pros are pouring cement for their new sidewalk. They're amazingly fast--yesterday they tore up the old and hauled it away and today they're pouring the new cement. (Photos by Pam Clark of The Record)

The purple martins have returned to Kingsley, and The Record's Pam Clark has taken some pictures of these beautiful birds.

Roger Wilson recently sent us these bird pictures with the following information:

"Here are two not-so-commonly seen Iowa birds that my son-in-law, Joris van Drunen Little, took photos of on the Fanchon Haddock farm this Sunday. The first one is a towhee. I think it gets its name from the song it sings which sounds like “toe” “hee”. The second one is the rose-breasted grosbeak, which sings a very beautiful song."

The Record's Pam Clark took these photos of corn planting north of Moville on May 12.

On Monday, May 15, Schumacher Construction of Correctionville began the job of demolishing the burned home at 203 State Street in Anthon. The home burned last year in June and was a complete loss. (Photos by Karen Newman of The Record)

The Record's Pam Clark took these photos on my way to Kingsley on Monday. The mother owl was perched outside the nest watching over her sleeping owlets, which you can see nestled down in the nest. The corn planting photo was taken just about 3 miles south of Kingsley. She was able to get a shot of one of the eaglets. (The other one ducked down when she got out of my car.)
