Description
Summary:ticklace n A dense flock of "ticklers," the charming Kittiwakes, came close about my shoulders. If the fishermen knock one down the others stay close about and are easy victims. They hover about the fish schools, indeed the occasional flick of a cod's tail explained their presence now. According to the fishermen it is small, oily bubles rising from the fish that the ticklers are after. How these are produced, though they may be from caplin and other prey seized and mangled by the cod, does not certainly appear. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit G.M.
