Overview
At the far western tip of the Oklahoma panhandle, Black Mesa rises into a landscape that feels far removed from the tallgrass prairies to the east. This is where Oklahoma touches the Mountain West, and the hummingbird possibilities shift accordingly. Black-chinned Hummingbirds are the most likely species here in summer, Rufous Hummingbirds can pass through in fall, and the special guest to watch for is Broad-tailed Hummingbird, a rare western visitor. Pinyon-juniper scrubland, high-desert wildflowers, and wide-open mesa views make Black Mesa one of Oklahoma's most distinctive birding environments. For serious hummingbird watchers and nature photographers, it is a remote, quiet, visually dramatic destination.
Hummingbirds to Watch For
- • Black-chinned Hummingbird
- • Rufous Hummingbird (fall migration)
- • Broad-tailed Hummingbird (rare)
Most Common Hummingbird
The most commonly sighted hummingbird at Black Mesa State Park & Nature Preserve is the Black-chinned Hummingbird.
Special Guest Hummingbird
Watch for the Broad-tailed Hummingbird. Black Mesa is Oklahoma's best place to watch for western hummingbird surprises. Broad-tailed Hummingbird is rare, but the panhandle is the part of the state where this kind of special guest is most plausible.
Best Time to Visit
Plan your visit during May, June, July, August, September for the highest chance of hummingbird sightings. Early morning and late afternoon are typically the most active feeding times.
Plants and Habitat
- • Pinyon-juniper scrubland
- • high-desert wildflowers
- • western meadow habitat
- • panhandle mesa vegetation
Visitor Notes
Remote location. Plan ahead with fuel, water, food, and supplies. Nearest services are limited. Strong birding destination for western species not found elsewhere in most of Oklahoma.
