Birds of Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Ornithological Society’s Bird Records Committee, or OBRC, accepts around 500 species living in Oklahoma. Out of these, around 100 are accidental, 7 are introduced, and 2, namely the passenger pigeon and Eskimo curlew, have gone extinct.

The scissor-tailed flycatcher, also called the Texas bird-of-paradise, has been designated Oklahoma’s state bird since 1951. They are most commonly seen throughout the state from spring to early summer.
