[TowerTalk] Towers and Sea Birds

[Richard M. Gillingham]

No surprise, really.  They're beautiful birds to watch.  There's one that 
used to fish on (what passes for a 'lake' in the Miami area) the lake behind 
my house, and darned if he/she didn't get some nice bass outa there.  I 
could never get 'em with hook and line..
