Wildlife near Tulsa, OK
Tulsa sits on the Arkansas River in the Oklahoma cross-timbers, where oak forest breaks into prairie. The river and its sandbars draw pelicans, gulls, and least terns, the Turkey Mountain woods on the west bank hold white-tailed deer and armadillos, and the neighborhoods run to northern cardinals, scissor-tailed flycatchers, and fox squirrels. Bald eagles winter along the river, and the prairie edges bring in meadowlarks.
