SCENE ON THE OCKLAWAHA RIVER,
FLORIDA.
The tropical and subtropical birds must ever be
watchful to guard against surprises by the savage al-
ligators some of which weigh one thousand pounds.
The swimming birds are easily caught by the feet and
dragged below for alligators dinners. A few of the many
kinds of birds that have made homes in the Ocklawaha
Forest of great interest to the tourists are the Scarlet
Flamingo, Sand-Hill Crane, King Fisher, Red Winged
Spoonbill, Parquet, Pink Curlew and Whooping Crane.
The last named when tamed, on hearing the noise of
arrival of human acquaintance will utter its character-
istic loon-like call and come as fast as wings will bring
it. The Sand-Hill Crane is very large, about four feet
tall and very easily tamed, its bright feathers are of
robin's egg blue. Other birds have interesting char-
acteristics.
