Central's Eagle-Viewing Facility to Close for the Season

(HOLDREGE, Neb.) -- The weekend of Feb. 13-14 will be the last chance to watch eagles from The Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District's eagle-viewing facility at the Johnson No. 2 Hydroplant near Lexington.

The J-2 facility will be open from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m., on Saturday and Sunday and then will close until next winter.

The eagle-viewing facility at Kingsley Dam was not open this year because of an ongoing maintenance project at the Kingsley Hydroplant.
