Description
A leafless tree stands in a waterfowl impoundment in the Croatan National Forest. The Catfish Lack waterfowl impoundment provides winter habitat for waterfowl visiting eastern North Carolina. Formerly drained farmland, the area was acquired by the National Forest Service in the 1960's. The 800 acre tract is managed by the USFS and the North Carolina Wildlife Commission. With an average depth of 1 to 2 feet, the area is host to ducks, various song birds, ducks, otters, deer and even alligators. Access is via dirt and gravel roads. While four wheel drive isn't required, the roads tend to be full of ruts and potholes. Vehicles with substantial ground clearance should be used to reach the impoundment.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
