SWAMPLAND BIRD TOURS

Barry "Chop" Lege, Audubon warden, and his daughter, Emilie, are your guides through the National Audubon Society Wildlife Sanctuary located on Lake Okeechobee. Lege, a fifth generation Audubon Warden, was raised in the Southern Louisiana Bayou Country where he attended 6 months in school and 6 months in the Bayous learning bird identification and an appreciation for nature's bounty. Today, he shares this knowledge as a conscientious effort to preserve through education.

Join Barry on his 44' pontoon boat that tours the 28,500-acre National Audubon Society Wildlife Sanctuary on Lake Okeechobee. His two hour narrated tours of Lake Okeechobee Sanctuary is entertainingly mixed with local history, folklore and environmental preservation of this pristine sanctuary.

Swampland Tour visitors are sure to see many birds. These will include herons, egrets, anhingas, ibis, wood storks, gallinules, snail kite, limpkin and ducks. A pristine swamp wilderness offers glimpses of Florida's rarest birds and wildlife.
