…for the human visitors.
A swath of trees was removed this summer along the road leading to Lodge Pond at Donnelley WMA, opening some views into a tree line.
A Great Egret and Roseate Spoonbill were looking the place over.
The view from their perches didn’t change much, just that they could see down the entrance road if they were inclined to look.
Drapes of Spanish Moss gave the local a nice cozy look.

Wonderful series, Ellen! I do like the Spanish Moss, and the atmosphere it creates.
Thanks, Belinda! I agree, and it is quite neat to be out by the wild marshes where it is draped everywhere.
Gorgeous scene with the single spoonie and all that spanish moss!
Thanks! I’m hoping the edge might dry up a bit with the trees down and we’ll be able to stand a bit more securely.
How fortunate for the birders and photographers, Ellen!
Yes, although am curious to find out if the work is complete and what the purpose was. We are headed out there this morning, maybe we’ll see something different.
