The only Village alligator to get lucky was Larry.
Thanks. Even better I guess since trapping an alligator has its risks. The effect is the same though. I really don't mind alligators in the wild but they do not belong in the small isolated retention ponds.

Anhinga's do a good job of un-stocking ponds in a very short period of time. It's amazing to watch how many fish they eat, they will eat all day long taking a short break from time to time.
