Birdwatching in Oklahoma

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

		Edmond is located in Central Oklahoma just North of Oklahoma City. We have numerous lakes within 20 miles where Eagles, Waterfowl, hawks, Vultures, and dozens of other species reside. Additionally during the migratory seasons we see many more varieties. I am primarily a photographer as opposed to merely watching. As such I like to take equipment and go out in the early AM and late afternoon when the light is best. I also have dozens of birds that I can photograph from my back deck overlooking a small pond. I only started this hobby a year ago when I retired and I already have thousands of pictures of well over one hundred species. I also photograph animals, flowers, butterflies and whatever catches my fancy. I am NOT an expert birdwatcher but I am perfectly willing to share what I do know about the area and even accompany others on photo/spotting outings.

		I've been living and birding in Tulsa since 2000. I also chair the Field Trips Committee of the Tulsa Audubon Society (http://www.tulsaaudubon.org/), so I'm familiar with where to find birds in any given season all around Tulsa and, indeed, most of Oklahoma. And even if I don't know where to find the bird(s) you're looking for, I probably know who to ask for help. Feel free to contact me if you're planning to visit Tulsa and would like to see some of our birds; I'll even take you there myself, if I'm available while you're here.
