Field Trip. Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge Sat.-Sun. for spring migrants

The Wichita Mountains compose one of the
oldest mountain ranges in the United States. The granite and quartz
peaks are strewn with weathered boulders in soft pink, gold, and blue
tints. The refuge was established as a game preserve in 1905 by
President Theodore Roosevelt. It is located 25 miles northwest of
Lawton, OK and includes about 60,000 acres. It is now one of the jewels
of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The scenery is stunning. In the
spring, the mountainsides are blanketed by wildflowers. In addition, the
refuge features a herd of about 500 bison. This herd is the result of
one of the earliest efforts to save the bison from extinction. The
refuge is also home to a herd of purebred longhorn cattle. A large
prairie dog town is another popular feature. The visitor's center holds
many fascinating exhibits. Join Tulsa Audubon Society for a delightful
overnight field trip. We will be looking for spring migrants. We will
leave on Friday, April 19 and spend that night and Saturday night at a
motel in Lawton. For those who wish to drive down on Saturday, we will
have cell phones to facilitate meeting at the refuge. For information
call Gail Storey (742-2684) or Bill
Foster (663-0973).
