Wings Over the Water at Harns Marsh

Wednesday March 13th


Sandhill Crane family looking to cross the canal


Next Saturday marks the eighth annul Wings Over Water Festival at Harns Marsh. Tours, Speakers exhibits and more.

Harns Marsh is a special place here in Lee County for birders, nature lovers, walkers, fisherman and more.  I first came out here many years ago after reading an article in the Fort Myers News-Press about the Kites found at the Harns.  Both the Snail and Swallow-tailed Kites.  Been hooked very since. So far I've recorded at least 129 species of birds and am know recording or flora and fauna as well.
