Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge
Harris Neck NWR was established in 1962 by transfer of federal lands formerly managed by the Federal Aviation Administration as a WWII Army airfield. Located in McIntosh County, Georgia, the refuge serves as an important link in the chain of refuges along the Atlantic seaboard, and is the inland base for two neighboring barrier island refuges, Blackbeard Island and Wolf Island refuges, both located southeast of Harris Neck. Harris Neck's 2,762 acres consists of saltwater marsh, grassland, mixed deciduous woods, and cropland. Because of this great variety in habitat, many different species of birds are attracted to the refuge throughout the year. In the summer, thousands of egrets and herons nest in the swamps, while in the winter, large concentrations of ducks (especially mallards, gadwall and teal) gather in the marshland and freshwater pools.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Ogeecheeton/Dawes Community - The Living Links of African Songs in the USA.
Ogeecheeton and Dawes Community (Savannah), Liberty County, and Harris Neck, Ga are some of the powerful links to Africa for Black Folks in the United States.
Amelia Dawley of Harris Neck sung the oldest African Song in the USA (translated). Dublin Scribben/Scriven sung a song in Liberty County that referenced the Oshun. Tony Delegal/Denegal of Ogeecheeton/Dawes sung one of the oldest African songs in the USA.
The Gullah Geechee People along Hwy 17/Ogeechee Rd/Coastal Hwy in Georgia maintained Mende, Vai, Ewe, and other languages songs in the United States.
They kept Africa alive.
These are thoroughfares/roads to our African cultural legacy in the USA.
