To foster appreciation, enjoyment and stewardship of our natural world.

We work to achieve this in four ways

• Promote the conservation of wildlife and the natural environment

• Provide the opportunity for study and observation of birds and all wildlife

• Contribute to research in the fields of conservation and ornithology by monetary support and active participation

• Educate the public on the need to protect the environment, and to promote a better public understanding of these natural resources

A Guide to Birding in Oklahoma
On-line Edition

Tulsa Audubon's A Guide to Birding in Oklahoma, first published in 1973, with a second edition in 1986 has been out of print for many years. Rather than publish a revised edition, TAS decided to make the information available here on our web site, updating and adding accounts as needed. I also have created custom maps in Google Maps and Google Earth, allowing you to zoom in on your favorite area. Click here to visit.
