The Audubon Swamp is an ancillary attraction at the Magnolia Plantation, one that we think stands by itself as a worthy destination. The primal swamp is chock-full of wildlife, including alligators, other reptiles and amphibians, and a host of ducks, raptors, passerines, and wading birds. The pea soup from which the Bald Cypress spring is actually duckweed, which usually winds up coating all critters in its midst.
