Photo Diary: Oxley Nature Center, Tulsa OK [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-10-14  

This is a very nice nature park in Tulsa’s Mohawk Park, not far from the Zoo. There are several miles of hiking and bike trails.

Some photos from a day at the park.

For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and travel around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visit.

Visitors Center

Honeybee hive, kept at the nature center

Wetland habitat

Prairie habitat

Forest habitat

Cicada. It was barely alive. End of summer = end of life.

Hawk. I don’t know what kind. Cooper’s? Sharp-Shinned? I can’t tell them apart. (Someone here has ID’d it as a Broad-Winged Hawk.)

Green-Winged Teals. They took off upon sighting me and flew all the way to the other end of the pond.

Caterpillar. Looked like a splop of bird poop—but it had legs.

Hackberry Emperor Butterfly. Now you see it ...

Now you don’t.

Grey Treefrog. A youngster who hasn’t learned yet to keep hidden during the day.

Water Snake. Water Snakes are notoriously hard to ID, but it’s likely some subspecies of Northern Water Snake.

Hello, gorgeous
