Gardening at Home - Tour and Plant Sale
Carol Eames
The Backyard Wildlife Habitat Garden Tour and Plant
Sale took place the weekend of June 12-13. This was the
11th annual tour and the first year that it was under the
sponsorship of the Tulsa Audubon Society. There were
five great yards; four within walking distance of each other
and the fifth a couple of miles away. Visitors liked this
aspect but it may not happen again in the future as it is
difficult to find appropriate yards that are close to each
other. As always, the yards are very personal and reflect
the homeowner's personality and preferences. There were
also five wonderful nurseries selling plants (mostly
natives) that help gardeners develop their own habitat
gardens. It was so gratifying to overhear the visitors getting plants and great
advice from these great nurseries.
Saturday dawned hot and humid as we
set up signs and tied on the red balloons. All the volunteers showed up on
time and visitors began arriving at the
homes by 9 a.m. By the time the last
tickets were sold on Sunday afternoon
we had counted nearly 800 visitors.
Then it was time to take down the
signs, load up tables and chairs and
return home to put up our feet and relax knowing that another successful
garden tour was now behind us.
A Swift Night Out -
Many people are involved in making this tour happen
but the person who deserves the most thanks and applause is Alyne Eiland who has been spearheading
the annual tour for many years. She makes the initial
contacts with homeowners, keeps track of previous
attendees (about 1,700 green cards were sent this
year), gets those green cards printed as well as address labels and attends to many other details. This
year she even personally went to the Tulsa World to
talk to reporters in person to be sure that we got out
front page publicity. She also contacted the Oklahoma
Department of Wildlife Conservation and arranged to
sell bird houses and other items from
ODWC. Without Alyne, this tour
would not be the same!!! THANK
YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Ron Jeffris keeps the rest of us from
"computer meltdown" by doing the
layout and printing of the tickets.
Many thanks also to everyone who
helped before, during and after that
weekend.
Now it's time to start planning and
thinking about the Garden Tour for
2005!
Paul & Georgean Kyle
Austin, TX - As the nesting season for Chimney Swifts
draws to a close, these aerial acrobats begin to gather in
large communal roosts. For several years now we have
been hosting A Swift Night Out in an effort to increase
awareness about the plight of Chimney Swifts. The event
involves locating a Chimney Swift roost in your community, arriving at dusk on the evening of the event and
counting the swifts as they enter the roost for the
night. Results that are reported back to us will then be
placed on our web site on a locator map.
In 2004, the main event will be held September 10 - 12.

years, please visit our web site at www.chimneyswifts.org

On your mark...get set...
BioBlitz!
Cyndie Browning
The Oklahoma Biological Survey will host the
4th annual BioBlitz! from 3pm Friday, Sept 10,
to 3pm Saturday, Sept 11, at Okmulgee/
Dripping Springs State Park and Okmulgee
Wildlife Management Area.
BioBlitz! is a rapid inventory of all the species
that volunteer field biologists, naturalists, and
other volunteers can find and identify in exactly
24 hours within a local state park or wildlife
management area. Once a year, the OK Biological Survey hosts a BioBlitz! in a different
part of the state. The species counted include
fungi and molds, lichens, plants (which make
up nearly half of the species of the entire
count), terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates
(that is, bugs!), fish, reptiles and amphibians,
birds, and mammals (all except humans and
domesticated animals).
Dody Nesbit, coordinator of Tulsa Audubon’s Outreach program, keeps herself busy. She delivers
monthly talks to the Tulsa Garden Council about
birds and visits schools to discuss birds and the
overall environment. She distributes her numerous
environment publications to nursing homes, hospitals, juvenile centers, and the jail. Letter-writing
for various environmental concerns also takes up
time.
This autumn, from mid-October through November, she will have a photographic exhibition entitled “90o North to Pole” at the Performing Arts
Center Gallery. Admission is free. This will focus
(pun intended) on her time in Alaska, where she
volunteers every March with the Iditarod sled race.
More locally, since the 1970’s she has been contributing funds to the Society to offset taxes on the
Keystone Reservoir Eagle Roost, and hopes other
members are inspired to contribute in kind.
Impress Your Friends…
The Biological Survey invites you to see the
results and mingle with biologists on Saturday
between 9am and 3pm at Okmulgee State
Park, on the shore of Okmulgee Lake (five
miles west of Okmulgee on SH-56). At last
year's BioBlitz! at Boiling Springs State Park in
Woodward county, 160 biologists and naturalists tallied 1,071 species!!
In this newsletter’s Jan/Feb 2004 issue, I mentioned the creation of Ornithology 101, in the
E-zine (online magazine) of the Audubon Society of Missouri. Here is an update from the
author himself.
The third and final part of my basic course for
beginning and intermediate birders, having to
do with behavior, has now been added. The
complete course is now on line at
www.mobirds.org. [From the home page,
click on the button for Missouri Birding
E-Zine to access the Orinithology 101 text.]
I would be interested in any suggestions for
improvement. Thanks.
Staff from the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum
of Natural History, the OK City Zoo, the OK
Dept. of Wildlife Conservation, and the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service will take part in the inventory, and on Saturday, Sept 11, will offer
interpretive activities and programs throughout
the day for children and adults.

TAS Committee Update:
Conservation
Bob Gard, the Society’s Conservation Chair, and other
interested parties have been meeting with INCOG and
Carter-Burgess, an engineering architecture firm. The
purpose is to develop a plan to “best” develop the Arkansas River Corridor through Tulsa. Bob emphasized that the final plans are possible developments, a
subset of which will come to pass. The Phase I Vision
Plan - Final Draft version of the report can be accessed at www.incog.org/ark%20river/default.htm.
Tulsa Scissortail
From the standpoint of the Society’s goals, there are
two significant items. First, one committee goal is to
leave the Turkey Mountain wilderness undeveloped.
Second, regarding the length of the River through
Tulsa, is this statement: "All of the trail zones adjacent to the river should be allowed to function as
riparian wildlife corridors. Forested areas adjacent to
the river's edge should be left in place without significant trail interruption."

Buy Art! (and help the Society)
Bob Gard
In the late 1970's when the Tulsa Audubon Society was raising
funds to purchase property for an eagle sanctuary on Lake Keystone, Jack Miller, a well-known artist from Sand Springs, donated
prints of his painting of an eagle in flight to help in the fundraising
efforts. Thanks in part to the publicity and money generated by
this donation, the Society was able to acquire the property.
After Miller's death in 1996, his son, Jack Miller, Jr., generously
donated prints of the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, done by his father,
to the Tulsa Audubon Society. They will be available for $50 at
Wild Birds Unlimited in the Farm Shopping Center at 51st and
Sheridan (742-3825). There is a handsomely framed print on display at the store. Thanks to the generosity of owner Susan Barnes,
all proceeds from the sale of these prints will be used to further the
mission and goals of the Tulsa Audubon Society.
Editor’s note: Yes, they are in color, not B&W.

Where the Wildflowers Are
Native plant gardens are becoming more
popular and acceptable as backyard landscaping. There are many advantages to
using native flowers and grasses in place
of the Great American Lawn. First, you
provide food and possibly shelter to myriad local animal species, from bugs all
the way up the taxonomic ladder to birds
and mammals. Second, maintenance is a
breeze. Once established, local plants do
what they do best - grow well and propagate. They use less water, require no
chemical treatment, and flourish in Oklahoma’s summer when other botanical
mainstays are desperately withering.
The grasses are extremely handsome, the
wildflowers provide color, and together
they give depth and texture to your yard,
not to mention plenty of conversation
with friends and relatives.
Of all these advantages, I was initially
attracted by the backyard wildlife habitat
aspect. While no foxes will bother to
penetrate my subdivision’s brick perimeter, we get a great variety of critters, and
critters that feed on those critters. I am
happy to encourage what wildlife will
venture into Tulsa proper. The other
great advantage I later realized was these
species’ independence and low maintenance. Who could ask for more?
I set to work last summer covering a
sunny corner of my backyard with black
plastic sheeting, weighted with bricks.
Evicting bermudagrass is not lightly undertaken, but I kept the goal of my own
Tallgrass Prairie Remnant in mind. In
June of this year I pitchforked, raked,
shoveled, sieved, and cursed my way
through every square inch of the patch. I
was ready to plant my prairie. So I
turned to the literature and catalogs, but
was discouraged to find out that I had to
wait until autumn to start planting, lest
my seedlings wither in the summer heat.
Whereas this news made sense, I was
itching to get my prairie started. As I
write this, there is a bare patch of dirt in
my backyard, roughly 100 square feet in
area, waiting to be planted. I am mighty
proud of it.
(I want to thank the wonderfully helpful
people in ODOT’s Roadside Beautification Office for providing information.)
Late September through mid-November
is ideal for planting native grasses and
wildflowers. First, eliminate the competition, either by hand, machine, or chemicals (or the slow method - black plastic
sheeting). Ensure that your wild area
receives plenty of sunlight and is welldrained. Rake lightly, no more than onehalf inch deep.
The four local prairie grasses:
Big Bluestem – Andropogon gerardi
Little Bluestem – Andropogon scoparius
Switchgrass – Panicum virgatum
Indiangrass – Sorghastrum nutans
Wildflowers that are well-adapted to the
Tulsa area:
Tickseed – Coreopsis lanceolata
Indian Blanket – Gaillardia pulchella
Butterfly Weed – Asclepias tuberosa
Purple Coneflower – Ech. angustifolia
Beard-Tongue – Penstemon cobaea
Plains Coreopsis – Coreopsis tinctoria
Mexican Hat – Ratibida columnaris
Clasping Coneflower – Rud. amplex.
Black-eyed Susan – Rudbeckia hirta
Mealy Blue Sage – Salvia farinacea
Indian Blanket - Kansas State photo library
Seeds are available from numerous vendors. Type “prairie grass” or
“wildflower” into your favorite search
engine for loads of online companies.
Grass seeds are also available in packets
at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve.
Mix your seeds together, and hand
broadcast them over the prepared bed.
Lightly rake again to ensure good
soil/seed contact. (If you rake deeper,
your good seeds won’t germinate, and
undesirable seeds will.) Minimize foot
traffic, ensure moist soil during the germination period (10 – 20 days), and
watch the seedlings sprout. Once they
have survived the seedling stage, they
will survive long, dry periods. To ensure
the re-seeding of annuals, wait two
weeks after the bloom has passed to trim
the area.
Now that I’ve set the hook, dear Reader,
I shall tell you how to plant your own.
Tulsa Scissortail
Be warned about fertilizer. Use it sparingly, if at all, and only when planting.
Fertilizing wildflowers after the plants
are established will result in larger
amounts of foliage at the expense of
blooms. A more serious concern is that
these oversized, bloom-reduced plants
will collapse under their own weight.
Page 6
And best of all, these flowers are listed
in approximate order of bloom sequence,
so you can plan where your blooming
colors will migrate through the season.
As I am quite new to all this, there are
undoubtedly plenty of other, wonderful
wildflowers that grow well here; I hope
you will let me know.
So, I have my bare patch, I have my
seeds, and I am waiting for September.
Dear Reader, may I ask a favor? As an
introduced species from back East, I
think some bison would really be the
icing on the cake. I have looked high
and low for a small herd of plastic bison
to adorn my tallgrass prairie remnant
(think pink flamingoes), but I have come
up completely empty-handed. Any suggestions?
Editor’s note: I had a rough draft of this
written before the Tulsa World scooped
my story in its August 7th, 2004 issue. I
did check to make sure their reporting
was accurate.

The Oklahoma Breeding Bird Atlas is here!
Dan Reinking’s much-anticipated Oklahoma
Breeding Bird Atlas is now available. A long-term
project of the Sutton Avian Research Center and
Oklahoma Biological Survey, the atlas contains a
2-page species account for each bird species that
nests in Oklahoma. Each species account contains a large color photo (about 220 in all) and a
map showing its breeding distribution in Oklahoma. Additionally, there is supporting text describing the species, some basics of its nesting
ecology (habitat, clutch size, description of eggs),
and descriptions of its Oklahoma range and how it
may have changed over time. In all, 519 pages,
plus front matter.
some nature centers. It is also available from
some online book retailers.
Call OU Press at 1-800-627-7377 Monday through
Friday. Or, to read more about the book or
to order directly from OU Press, visit its webpage
at www.oupress.com and click on “Catalogs”, then
on “Spring/Summer 2004”.
In addition, a limited edition, hand numbered,
leatherbound edition with gilded edges and a slipcase is available. Proceeds from the sale of these
collector’s editions will benefit the Sutton Avian
Research Center. Contact Dan Reinking directly if
interested (GMSARC@aol.com), as it is only
available through the Sutton Center.
The atlas is available from the University of Oklahoma Press. Prices are $59.95 for hardcover and
$34.95 for softcover. It will soon be available in
Oklahoma bookstores, Wild Bird Stores, and
Wildflowers on the go!
Are you enthusiastic about sharing wildflowers
with complete strangers? The Oklahoma Native Plant Society (headquartered in the Tulsa
Garden Center) collects funds in any amount
for planting wildflowers along highways and in
parks for the public’s enjoyment. For more
information, visit the ONPS website at
www.usao.edu/~onps, or contact Pearl
Garrison at (918) 587-4624 or jjpmgarrison@
hotmail.com (subject line – Color Oklahoma).
Alternatively, the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) go to considerable lengths to
plant wildflowers along highways, on medians
and shoulders, for our high-speed enjoyment.
For a $200 minimum contribution (enough to
plant an acre of Indian Blanket), you or your
organization can help beautify our highways
and byways. Contact ODOT’s Beautification
Office at (405) 521-4037 for additional information.
