Best Hummingbird Gardens in Tulsa County, Oklahoma

Tucked into Mohawk Park at Tulsa's northern edge, Oxley Nature Center is one of Oklahoma's most species-rich public birding reserves. Its 800 acres combine freshwater marsh, Bird Creek bottomlands, oak woodland, open prairie, boardwalk trails, and wildlife viewing blinds. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are the expected summer species, using the native plant corridors around marshes and woodland edges during nesting season. Fall adds a little extra suspense, when a rare Rufous Hummingbird may pass through Oklahoma during migration. The center's mix of open water, woody cover, and native flowering perennials makes a single morning visit rewarding for patient observers.
