Based on recent intelligence reports indicating that Rock Hall has become one of the most popular communities on the Eastern Shore in recent years, the Spy assigned Agent 86 to conduct aerial reconnaissance to capture the town and the nearby Eastern Neck Island Wildlife Refuge for a close examination of these remarkable assets.

This video is approximately two minutes in length.

Agent 86 reported to management recently that he had flown to Maine to escape the heat and humidity on the Eastern Shore (and perhaps as an escape from the high-pressure work environment at the Spy). 86 chose Rockland as his venue because he knew that Chris Brownawell, a former director of the Academy Art Museum, had gone there in 2010 as CEO of the Farnsworth Art Museum and remains there today, 15 years later.

86 thought that if Rockland had set well with Brownawell, perhaps he also would find the area appealing.  In any event, 86 wanted to view the extensive Wyeth collection at the Farnsworth.  86′ video surveillance follows. Prominent in the video is the Maine Lobster Festival. 86 made very clear that he wouldn’t return to Mid-Shore until the Festival had concluded.

Agent 86 was recently reminded that the Spy has many readers south of the Choptank River and that he should occasionally train his camera in those areas.  86 took this to heart and overflew Cambridge, the new Harriet Tubman Museum outside of town, and the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. He hopes that the resulting video will return him to favor with readers in the southern portion of the Spy’s service area.

This video is approximately three minutes in length.

When the Spy announced its new weekly podcast with Messrs. Foxwell and Mitchell focusing on all things Annapolis, Agent 86 didn’t want to be left out.  He decided to focus his lens on the capital city to see what all the fuss was about.  His surveillance video is attached.

Agent 86 was dispatched to memorialize the recent snowfall from the air.  In his report, 86 takes us to Oxford and Town Creek, the Talbot Country Club, Trippe Creek, and Cooke’s Hope. At the video’s close, just as the music dies, so did 86’s drone.  It landed prematurely in a tree on the Cooke’s Hope entry road and fell upside down into a snowbank.  Fortunately, 86 was able to extract the coordinates of the crashed aircraft from his control unit, and with a few minutes of cultivation in the snow, the drone was recovered unscathed.

This video is approximately three minutes in length.

It was no surprise to Central command at the Spy that Agent 86 would volunteer to cover the Bugatti show at the Academy Art Museum. With agent 007 endlessly reciting the beauty of Austin Martins, 86 was eager to show, once and for all, fellow agents and the general public how genuinely remarkable the Bugatti family has been in the history of automobile design.
