What is this?

[Zach McGarvey]

I spotted this, and quite a few more like it, in the Tom's Pond/ Constable Bridge area on Saturday morning. It's some kind of hanging moss-- not part of the tree.

That's a nice one.

Interesting. I see small ones now and again but never took the time to investigate. Now I know what they are. Thanks for posting Zach and Bob.

If you want to see this one, I could probably point out its location on a map to within 100ft or so. It was less than a 30 minute walk from Batsto Lake.
