Agent 86 has been complaining of cabin fever lately, what with all the cold weather, wind and rain. Management identified a favorable weather day and suggested that 86 head to Hoopers Island to see what he could find. As an inducement, knowing that 86 was big on crab cakes without filler, management offered to fund his lunch at Old Salty’s. 86′ surveillance report is attached.

This video is approximately three minutes in length.

December 13, 2025 by Spy Agent 86

Agent 86 approached management last week and asked if he could receive his Christmas bonus early in order to fund a trip to the Big Apple.  86 wanted to take in the holiday spirit along Fifth Avenue and said he would provide photos of what he found.  86’s request was granted, and management is told that the bonus funded the entire cost of a one-way coach ticket to New York on AMTRAK’s Northeast Regional train.
Whether 86 has sufficient funds to purchase a ticket for the return trip to Easton is unknown. However, 86 did manage to get his photos back to us.  They are contained in the accompanying slideshow.
This video is approximately 2 minutes in length.

Agent 86 Reconnaissance Footage: Waterfowl Festival 2025

November 17, 2025 by Spy Agent 86
Leave a Comment

It didn’t take much effort to have Agent 86 agree to cover the 2025 Waterfowl Festival in Easton last weekend. The annual event, which celebrates all that is great about living on the Eastern Shore, has been the secret agent’s favorite assignment for many years, and the results show in this surveillance report, which was turned in on time and perfectly highlighted one of the region’s most popular and beloved gatherings of dogs and their humans.

This video is approximately 2 minutes in length.

Agent 86 Reconnaissance Footage: Special Assignment over Rockland

August 9, 2025 by Spy Agent 86
1 Comment

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 Reconnaissance Footage: Over the Outer Banks on Assignment

July 25, 2025 by Spy Agent 86

Agent 86 approached the Spy recently about enrolling in a photography summer camp to hone his skills.  He asked the Spy to cover his tuition and travel expenses.  The Spy advised 86 that he was at least 6 decades too old for summer and reminded him that the publication was a 501(c)(3) with scarce resources and none for training senior citizens.  Apparently, 86 reached into his own pocket to fund his summer camp and ended up on the Virginia Outer Banks.  His surveillance video of that unusual terrain appears below.
This video is approximately two minutes in length.
