^ f-.i'Sstii'viiWtiWtWwte ~ On the dusty fields that adjoin Tu!e Lake, flocks of ducks and geese settle like chaff from the sky. just before the dawn, and just after the good light has vanished in the evening. Then the sky looks like an aerial fourringed circus. V's and W's, — squadrons and regiments of the birds wheel by, enroute from the water to adjacent feeding grounds.
