BIRDS

provide a plentiful food source for the 'GATORS
which were out IN FORCE .... here's just "a few"
(Low water levels had concentrated the 'gators in the perimeter borrow ditches)



These are NOT "Duplicates"			'gators were spaced out at about 50-60 yard intervals almost for the entire perimeter of the STA5 Works area

BUT

"TURN-ABOUT"
is fair play
