The water j j turkey <>r cn, mailt is common. liobins j swarm in the Oketinokee in the win- j ter time and have been known to re- I ma in through the year. There is also' ' found the pileated woodpecker, which ? measures twenty inches from tip of | his bill to the tip of his tail. The i Oketinokee is one of the greatest bird ; territories in the countiy. In addition to the bear. wTr.vh is , common, and the wolf, which is rarer, | deer, wildcats, and even panthers are j found in the Oketinokee. The coon .j and the possum are holding their i own. The alligator is disappearing,, i however. There are no game laws j in t):!< territory, it seems. Only a | few years ago alligators were as com ! moil as cats in a city; one man has boasted of killing twenty-six in a I >mgle night. 'Gators aided fish life, i for they kept the waterways open. ' Fi.-h are still plentiful, however. The authority for the statements j about the wild life of the Okefiriokeo ! is < '. N. Wilson, i>t* Wave ross, who i- more familiar with that feature, perhaps, than an\ other living man. He also says that the Oketinokee is i a paradise for those who fancy honey. : The profusion of blo>som> includes ? countless ho.ncy plants, and colonies j of bees are correspondingly common, i No one takes a greater interest in ! the honey supply than the b.ar. who j is attracted by the honey .is muc.i 1 as a small boy i? by thi jam jar. !
