These are photos from Bronson's recent 4th of July celebration, along with a few more photos that Felicia Christensen sent to us on our Facebook page.  (The photo in the thumbnail is from Felicia.  It is a picture of Vern Hair's tractor).

Photos from Anthon's Freedom Rock.  See more pictures and a story about the rock in the July 6 edition of The Record.

Photographer Robert Nielsen, the son of former Moville dentist Dr. Owen "Obie" Nielsen, has been posting many classic photos from around the area.  

Moville Days 2017 was celebrated June 9-11.  Highlights included, the annual parade, a car show, and a concert by Moville's own Kelsey K (Kelsey Klingensmith) on Saturday night.

Ray "Bubba" Sorensen II has been in Kingsley since Monday painting Plymouth County's Freedom Rock--his 60th Iowa County rock so far and only 39 more to go.  The four faces of Plymouth County's Freedom Rock located at the Kingsley Community Center. Sorensen anticipates finishing up this project commemorating the service of Plymouth County's Veterans, by Tuesday.  See complete story in this week's Record.

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.)

The Record's Pam Clark took these spring photos on Saturday. The tractor one is a farmer discing north of Lawton and to the west of Chuck Hoelker's house on D12. The West Fork levels are up after the recent rains, and what was a small little islet was completely covered until Saturday some of it started appearing. The Canadian geese were just trying to find a little bit of room to stand on it. The cattle are her husband Glenn's calves. The street to the baseball diamonds is all abloom. These trees are so pretty this time of year.

These photos show a male and female mallard swimming on the river. (Photos by Pam Clark of The Record)

These photos of an eagle and eaglet in their nest were taken by The Record's Pam Clark.

These are some spring photos taken in the Moville area by The Record's Pam Clark.

The Record's Karen Newman sent these photos of last Saturday's Easter egg hunts in Correctionville, Cushing, and Anthon.

These photos from Kingsley's Easter egg hunt came to us from Beth Sitzmann Nielsen.

Lots of kids were on hand for the Moville Easter egg hunt, which was put on by the Arlington Future Farmers 4-H club along with the Moville Chamber of Commerce.

Kathleen Babcock Anderson posted these old Moville photos on our main Facebook page (“The Moville Record”), after Robert Nielsen posted an aerial view of Moville from the 1900's.

These flood pictures from 1950's and 1960's Moville were sent to us by photographer Robert Nielsen, the son of former Moville dentist Dr. Owen "Obie" Nielsen.

The Moville Community Development Association (MCDAI) held its annual St. Patrick’s Trivia Night fundraiser at the Moville Community Center on Saturday, March 18. The profits will go to the tennis court resurfacing project. Tim Gallagher was the quizmaster, and Kent Baker’s team was the 2017 champions.

These pictures were taken by Tim Petersen's automatic camera on his farm, south of Correctionville, along the Little Sioux River.
