Johns river in Central Fla. and use to have scads of ducks - mascogies on both sides of the river!! One summer in the mid 70s, seemed that the gators came out of the canals and suddenly all the duck were gone by the end of summer. then people started loosing their dogs. I'm too fond of the gators!! Know they are a part of life - but. . . . .
