Can you post a photo?

Chances are, the one in the Corkscrew Sanctuary had exactly that - a lot of birds' nests!

I am going to go out and take a picture and post it here. They are not bird's nests...they look like bird's nests.

What you see that looks like birds nest are probably spanish moss. And the trees were more than likely Bald Cypress or Pond cypress.

Definitely not spanish moss or any kind of moss. I actually read a sign at Corkscrew Sanctuary that said what kind of tree it was and that it had little bird's nest type growths on it. It is a beautiful tree. I would like to put up a picture or two that I have on my desktop, but I don't know how to do it.

Go to imageshack.us (not .com) and follow the directions to upload a photo. You don't need to register if you don't want to. Then after uploading it will give you a web address to give to others. Just about any of them will do. Someone will help rearrarnge the tag if need be.

Here is a link that might be useful: photobucket..com

Probably witch's brooms (proliferations of short small stems).

I'm afraid it looks like your files are either corrupted or did not upload properly or were unterrupted in doing so.

I can tell you that it will be helpful
to have closeups of the leaves, bark,
seeds, flowers and whatever the birdsnest
thing is. Please take the photo with
the sun pointing on the tree from the
same direction in which you are taking
the photo.

Example. If it's morning have your back to
the east and the tree to the west.

In what can be seen of the top view it looks like it has both bromeliads and bushy trunk sprouts.
