Oklahoma is one of the most fascinating states for experiencing and learning about bird life, as it hosts species from both the east and west. The impressive diversity of over 480 species stems from the varied topography across the Sooner State. There are rich hardwood forests in the east with such species as Prothonotary Warbler and Blue Grosbeak; eastern wetlands with Least Terns and Black-necked Stilts; tallgrass prairies with Greater Prairie-Chickens and state bird Scissor-tailed Flycatchers; and the Wichita Mountains with endangered Black-capped Vireos. Sifting through so many species is challenging, so it helps to have a portable resource on hand to cut through the clutter and focus on a smaller selection of representative species. The beautifully illustrated Oklahoma Birds features illustrations of 140 bird species as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific resource for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders who wish to sharpen their bird identification skills and peer more closely into birds’ fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
