Birding

With nearly 500 species of birds winging their way across the state, Oklahoma is prime bird watching territory. Migratory birds pass through Oklahoma twice a year along the central flyway of North America and birders will find surprises here such as Bald Eagles, American White Pelicans, Lesser Prairie Chickens and more.

In Oklahoma, bird watchers can visit natural treasures such as the Tishomingo

Wildlife Refuge, home to 275 species of birds, the Red Slough Wildlife Management Area with 312 bird species, the Hackberry Flats Wildlife Management Area teeming with wetlands, shorebirds and waterfowl or the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, where tens of thousands of migratory birds stop over each year. From Painted Buntings to Roadrunners and Killdeer, your whole family will be able to add plenty of sightings to their bird watching lists in state parks, preserves and other outdoor recreation areas in Oklahoma.
