A friend and I rode our bicycles from Sperry to Skiatook via the Osage Prairie Trail on Sunday, May 16th. We stopped periodically during the ride to watch some of the birds from the trail. It was a great afternoon to birdwatch; there were so many male birds conspiciously singing their mating calls.
The Dickcissels and Buntings were particularly vocal.
