Owl

The dead of winter is actually a good time to talk birds. There’s a lot to see, flying in the sky right now.  We learn about the benefits of birds.

Bird carving takes the spotlight in today’s “Monday Memories.” We’ll go back a few years to revisit our time spent with Chincoteague’s own “Duck Man,” Roe Terry.

Lt. Tim Robinson of the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office joins us to show off the pictures of people they’d like to get into police custody in today’s Most Wanted Monday.
