We spent our last day birding the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. What a beautiful place and we found a few nice surprises. Other than being swarmed by honey bees, it was a great experience. Thank goodness my mother is a bee whisperer and was brave enough to get in our bee infested car and some how get them all out while I was in the parking lot running around in circles with a towel wrapped around my head. (sorry, no video) My mom...saved me from a Saint Bernard when I was a baby and saved me from death by bees when I am 45. Thanks Mommy :)

Tulsa Birding Adventure, lead by The Bushtits team captain and mother birder extraordinaire.

  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.
