Beautiful, unique, wonderful place to see a variety of birds especially in morning or evenings. Best in cooler months. Moorhens, White and Brown Pelicans; variety of egrets; Black Bellied Whistling ducks, spoonbills, the list goes on. This Cypress stand was mandated by SWFWMD to help with water quality; the birds are a great secondary benefit. This is a great oasis within an awesome community. Enjoy the park bench. Sterling Ranch enjoys a junior Olympic pool, pleasant sunset walks, a wonderful variety of wild birds, the ultimate in shopping and convenient access from Lakeland and throughout Tampa Bay. Sterling Ranch... for an even better tomorrow!!! READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE YOU VISIT… MANY HELPFUL COMMENTS
