The flies are getting thick, but not as thick as they were at CBEC \u00a0a few days ago. \u00a0I&#8217;ve been told they&#8217;re even worse at Bombay Hook, so I&#8217;m going to pass on there for a while. They get so thick you&#8217;re constantly swatting at them, even though the insect repellent keeps them from biting.<\/p>\n<p>The interesting thing today was the eagles eating carrion in the wheat fields. I saw three, accompanied by vultures, \u00a0feasting on what appeared to be dead deer, on the way home.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35685\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
