Eagles are happy to scavenge.

It's fun to watch them fish, when they don't find dinner just lying around.

Yep, K-25. There was talk a few years ago about building a racetrack at that site. It was going to be called the "Thousand Suns Raceway" or something to that effect...

Another old Manhattan Project building (the Graphite Reactor). I drive past this every day...
