Out on Okefenokee refuge to Floyds Island.  Saw lots of Alligators - including one small one so tame that he allowed me to scratch his nose with a short casting rod merely blushing as I did it.  Finally I put the tip of the rod under his chin and scratched.  This was to much.  He rose up - hissed a couple of times & dove into the water.  Saw lots of [[underline]] egrets, great blues - little blues, Night Herons & 10 Cranes. [[\underline]]  Back to Camp Carmelia & to Waycross for dinner with Hopkins & Mr. & Mrs. Johns.  Saw their colored movies[[?]] which were good.
