2 SHOREBIRDS IN NE OKLAHOMA Shorebird Habitat around Tulsa & NE Oklahoma Species Status & Migration Timing Identification Tips References

3 Shorebird Habitat around Tulsa & NE Oklahoma Sod Farms Spring - Especially good during periods of thunderstorms and after heavy overnight rains Prime time is late April through late May Best time is early morning before birds move north & late afternoon & evening during storms as birds drop in Fall Not as good as spring but still good after heavy rains Prime time is late July through mid October Best season for Buff-breasted & Upland Sandpipers Prime time is last few days of July through early September Not as dependent on rain or standing water as other shorebirds but do favor fields being irrigated Local Area Sod Farms 56 th Street North Bixby Leonard Wagoner County Kadashan Map provided of area sod farms Prairies North Tulsa County prairies & plowed fields good in early spring for American Golden-Plover

4 Shorebird Habitat around Tulsa & NE Oklahoma Lakes Several area lakes have ideal shoreline and mudflats depending upon lake levels Prime time is same as for sod farms Spring & Fall equally good Some species more common on lakes than sod farms Lake Keystone only lake that has habitat at normal but better at 1.5 ft. below normal or lower Osage Point Osage Ramp Feyodi Creek Cowskin Bay South Hwy 48 Overlook to Pawnee Cove Cottonwood Creek South Lake Oologah needs to be about a foot below normal to have much habitat and is ideal at 1.5 ft. below normal or lower Winganon Causeway Winganon Flats Maps provided identifying productive areas on Keystone & Oologah

5 Shorebird Habitat around Tulsa & NE Oklahoma Lakes Continued Sooner Lake is not that dependent upon the lake level Not a lot of flats Prime attraction is rocky causeways Best spot in Oklahoma for late spring migrants Black-bellied Plover Whimbrel Ruddy Turnstone Sanderling Unfortunately the north-south causeway is now off limits Sewage Lagoons Area sewage lagoons usually not that productive Most don t have exposed flats 56 th Street North & Collinsville Sewage Lagoons Only area sewage lagoons with occasional flats Skiatook Sewage Lagoons usually not very productive for shorebirds

Occurs sporadically in very low numbers or occurs sporadically during the w inter. Occurs in low numbers and may not be seen on each trip but may occur sporadically in large numbers. Occurs in good numbers during the periods indicated. a. - These species usually found w ith greater frequency and in greater numbers on shorelines and mudflats of lakes than sod farms. b. - This species usually found w ith greater frequency and in greater numbers on sod farms and plow ed fields than on shorelines and mudflats of lakes. c. - These species can be found in large numbers during their prime spring migration period (May 5-25) given the proper habitat and w eather conditions.
