Bird Brain Adventures

 

 

This sweet little female Mountain Bluebird was found  just west of Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge yesterday. Neva and I decided to run out this morning before work and see if we could locate her.  She was very cooperative!

  Two full days of birding in and around the city of Tulsa. Started with a quick look at Mill Creek Pond but most of the cool ducks were at the pond in the Heatheridge neighborhood around 95th and Sheridan. We then set out for Mohawk park.  We located the Long-tailed duck on Lake Yahola  and walked a short distance on one of the Oxley Nature Center trails before it started raining. Total of 54 species on day one.

  Mohawk Park.  Oxley Nature Center trails.  Great nature trails.  Now, if they could only enforce the NO PETS rule.   SHAME on this lady And SHAME on these two rude, rule breakers.
