BioBlitz! In the Forest
BioBlitz! 2018 was in the eastern side of Oklahoma at Greenleaf State Park, near Braggs featuring the 930-acre Greenleaf Lake. This park originates from the New Deal era and from the work of the Works Progress Administartion (WPA). The stone cabins and facilities, constructed by the CCC, WPA, and German prisoners of war, date back to the 1930s-1940s. This part of the state is hilly, as it is situated on the edge of the Boston Mountains, and is covered by oak and hickory forest.

The American Burying Beetle was our highlighted taxa for 2018. This beetle measures 1 to 1.5 inches and is the largest member of the carrion beetle family (Silphidae)! It’s coloration is striking with red and black markings over its wing-covers and orange, fan-shaped antennae tips. This nocturnal beetle specializes in the consumption of dead animals, which it uses as a nursery for its young. Adult beetles emerge in May to search for carcasses and pair off. Once they’ve found a large enough carcass, they bury it in an underground chamber where they clean and chemically preserve it. The female lays eggs inside the carcass, while the male tends to the new young. These young emerge as adults sometime before October to feed
The American Burying Beetle was listed as federally endangered in 1989. The species has seen an increase in numbers due to the efforts of a wide variety of conservationists and advocacy groups, but still has a way to go before it fills its former range. Oklahoma is one of the hot-spots for American Burying Beetle conservation. We have records in at least 29 eastern counties, where the beetles prefer open, oak-hickory forests with native grass cover. The causes of its decline are unsure, but they’re thought to include habitat loss/fragmentation, pesticide use, and the reduction of carcass availability. Despite its gruesome parenting strategy, this beetle and other decomposers/detritovores serve a unique role in the recycling of ecosystem nutrients.
About
This BioBlitz! marked the farthest west, highest elevation, longest inventory time, and first dinosaur! Over 300 biologists and citizens scientists from Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Colorado spent 42 hours looking for as many biological species as possible at the tip of the Oklahoma panhandle. Scouring the shortgrass prairie, sage brush, mesa tops, and steep shrub covered slopes, we found at least 720 species! This number has grown since our initial announcement of 709 at 4:00 p.m. at the end of the inventory. As people double check lists and gather additional observations, this number may grow!

About
BioBlitz! Oklahoma 2015 was a success! Over 750 species were inventoried at Osage Hills State Park on October 2-3. At least 390 expert biologists and citizen scientists counted beetles, fish, mushrooms, trees, and every other biological species for 24 beautiful hours. Everyone in attendance will agree that the weather was perfect for camping. However, the insect people would have found more, if it had been bit warmer. On Saturday evening 90 BioBlitzers enjoyed the It’s All About Birds program the Sutton Avian Research Center. And a small, but enthusiastic group ran the rocky trails of Osage Hills State Park in our first ever BioBlitz! trail run – the Flying Squirrel Scurry!

The Black Kettle NG is over 30,000 acres across approximately 100 tracts of land. The inventory focused on only a few of the tracks, but covered the wide variety of habitats. From shortgrass flats to bottomlands, along the Washita River, from the rough broken country of the red plains to the steep canyon sides, the diverse terrain creates a fascinating heterogeneous landscape that over 230 expert biologists and citizen scientists explored during BioBlitz! 2014. We searched shinnery oak mottes, wetlands surrounded by buttonbush, and grasses mixed with sagebrush for all biological species. The inventory also included the 315 acres of the Washita Battlefield NHS and the small acreage of Cheyenne’s Memorial Park.

Migrating birds boosted the bird count. Bee experts, Victor Gonzales and Don Rolf, found over 20 species of bees. A rainy summer produced abundant wildflowers and grasses. Recent precipitation enhanced fungal growth and increased the number of species found. The variety of aquatic habitats led to good counts for both algae and fish. And the variety of habitats in combination with the warm afternoon helped to raise the reptile and amphibian count to 26 species.

BioBlitz! 2012 was record setting – the coldest BioBlitz! held in Oklahoma! Nonetheless, 292 expert and citizen biologists converged at Foss Reservoir to inventory the biological diversity during this chilly, windy October weekend. With lows in the 30s and grey skys, the animals were reluctant to come out of hiding. The counts of mammals, terrestrial invertebrates, and birds all suffered. And, two years of drought affect the count of plants, fungi, and lichens. Despite the cold and drought, participants found 866 species during the inventory. These tough attendees found tarantulas, osprey, prairie dogs, pin cushion cactus, red shiners, and 861 more species during our short 24 hour count.

Record setting attendance and wonderful weather contributed to the success of this year’s BioBlitz! Oklahoma. 333 citizen scientists and expert biologists scoured the drought stricken park to find over 880 species, from microscopic diatoms to the tracks of a black bear! The extra dry summer contributed to very low numbers of plants and aquatic invertebrates. Yet, we were able to find the virile crayfish – the species depicted in our 2011 logo! The bird, mammal, and fish counts were near average and, of course, the terrestrial invertebrates nearly doubled the count.

A Corps of Engineers lake located in north-central Oklahoma, Kaw Lake offers boating, fishing, picnicking, and camping. There are many coves and inlets to explore, several trails for hiking, and an abundance of clean, fresh air and sparkling water. It was a great place view nesting eagles in winter, enjoy fishing in the spring and summer, and to participate in BioBlitz! 2010 in the crisp, cool autumn air!
Tucked inbetween Osage and Kay counties, we found find a variety of habitats in the Kaw Lake Wildlife Management Areas and Army Corps of Engineer lands – tallgrass prairie remnants, Cross Timbers, wetlands, bottomland forest, and, of course, aquatic habitats that awaited inventory by the BioBlitz! team of volunteer scientists.

Nestled in the wooded hills of eastern Oklahoma, Robbers Cave was once the hideout for bandits. But in 2009, biologists of all ages and affinities scoured the hillsides, not to flush out criminals, but to find as many different organisms as possible. We had a record breaking year at Robbers Cave. Over 330 volunteers counted species over the 24 hour period. Fungi had a fantastic year due to the wet weather leading up to this year’s event. More than 150 species of fungi were found by not only the fungi experts, but also enthusiastic collectors of all abilities and affinities! We were also excited to have Gary Hevel of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC join us. He participated in the first ever BioBlitz! in Rock Creek park in our nation’s capitol.
The lobed spleenwort, in the logo, is found in the deciduous forests of the eastern United States, but Robbers Cave is the only place in Oklahoma that it can be found.

Well, we knew the Great Salt Plains was the place to see a diversity of birds during the fall migration and we were not disappointed. The ornithologists had a very good weekend, finding 115 species of birds during the 24-hour inventory. This was the first time in BioBlitz! history that more than 100 species of birds were counted. Non-bird biologists were not disappointed either — a total of 939 species were found within the BioBlitz! boundaries which included both the Great Salt Plains State Park and Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge. Over 20 species were found for each the mammal, reptile and amphibian, fungi, and fish groups. Josh Cooper, a graduate student focusing on diatoms, identified 74 of those unicellular species. As usual, the big winners were the entomologists with over 350 terrestrial species and over 50 aquatic species.
Although BioBlitz had to be rescheduled due to flooding in Alfalfa County, over 100 volunteer scientists attended to join in the species tally. Students and faculty from several Oklahoma universities attended, as well as students from Norman High School, Oklahoma home schoolers, and members of several regional Audubon Societies. Many attendees took advantage of the activities led by experts throughout the weekend. The “Snakes of Oklahoma” presentation, owl calling, seining for fish, and night-time insect ecology talk were big hits and we plan to offer similar activities next year. So, mark your calendar for BioBlitz! 2009 at Robbers Cave State Park and Wildlife Management area on September 18-19.

About
One of the 1,009 species recorded during the annual 24-hour biological inventory may be a new species of ant, believed to be in the genus Monomorium. David Donoso, zoology graduate student at OU, collected the ant which as been sent to experts for verification. Ken Hobson, Entomologist and Assistant Professor of Zoology at OU said, “[this] is one example of how many species new to science are waiting discovery in Oklahoma.” Dr. Hobson continued, “[a]t a time when we are beginning to acknowledge the value of the rich biodiversity we inherited in North America and when this diversity is slipping away, we have a great opportunity to document and preserve the richness that is still here.”
Over 140 biologists representing over 20 organizations and schools had such an opportunity to document the biological diversity of Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge on September 14 and 15, 2007. Volunteers, ranging from professional biologists to school children, climbed mountains, slogged through wetlands, turned over rocks, and peered through microscopes to document at least 1,009 species.
Local schools were invited to participate in an education program on Friday before the inventory began. Environmental educators from a variety of organizations, including the Oklahoma City Zoo, Three Forks Nature Center, and Quartz Mountain Nature Park set up outdoor learning stations through which students traveled and learned about many topics including natural history, species diversity, and edible and medicinal plants.

About
About the Area: The Wichita and Quartz Mountains are granitic remains of a once taller mountain chain. They now appear as low mountains and outcrops that rise abruptly from the surrounding plain. These mountains run from east to west and occur primarily in Comanche, Kiowa, and Greer counties. The Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge and Quartz Mountain State Park provide excellent examples of the habitats found in this area.
Large tracts of crosstimbers occur on mountain slopes, extending into the valleys. Stunted oaks and cedars also grow among the large boulder fields,and some areas are devoid of vegetation. A colorful palette of lichens covers many of the boulders. Reptiles and other animal species live on these dry, rocky slopes. Mixed grass prairie vegetation is abundant, but tallgrass prairie occurs on moist sites. Dry hilltops and overgrazed lowlands contain shortgrass communities typical of drier portions of the ecoregion. Mesquite woodlands are also present.
The rugged terrain of these mountains creates diverse habitats that can support plant communities more characteristic of eastern Oklahoma. For example, sugar maples can be found in some of the canyons in this ecoregion. Lush bottomland forest vegetation grows in the valleys and canyons. These forests are diverse and have many plant species found in eastern Oklahoma. In Oklahoma,the plateau live oak can be found only in the Wichita and Quartz Mountains. It is also common in central Texas.
A few scattered granitic caves support summer populations of bats. Because granite is resistant to weathering, these caves are usually too small to serve as maternity caves or hibernacula (hibernation sites) for bats. Other animals enter the caves for shelter.

About the Area: Mohawk Park and the Oxley Nature Center support a diversity of habitats along the south bank of Bird Creek. The flood-plain forest, comprised of giant cottonwoods, sycamores, oaks, pecans, and hackberry trees and many other smaller trees and shrubs, is home to many kinds of animals and plants. Combined with open areas maintained as hay meadows or prairies and a variety of wetlands, the different habitats make especially rich combinations of conditions. In addition to bottomland forest habitats, Mohawk Park includes Lake Yahola, the Tulsa Zoo, the Mohawk Park Golf Club and expanses of highly managed, open recreational areas for picnicking.

About
The BioBlitz! was conducted in Boiling Springs State Park and Fort Supply and Cooper Wildlife Management Areas. The Cooper Wildlife Management Area features open sand hills north to the Beaver (Cimarron) River. Across State Highway 3, the Ft. Supply Wildlife Management Area includes riparian, wetland and open water habitats associated with Ft. Supply Reservoir. These Wildlife Areas are located a few miles NW of the city of Woodward; Perennial fresh water springs may be found at Boiling Springs State Park, along with forested bottomlands and scrub oak uplands.
In northwestern Oklahoma the tallgrass prairie changes to shortgrass plains over broad uplands, while woodlands are confined to well watered slopes and ravines below the grasses. Cottonwood and willow predominate along riparian areas. Sandsage, bluestems and Indiangrass grow over stabilized dunes along the Beaver River. Springs and small wetlands form in areas where the water table is high.
Highlights: Two mammals found during the event, fulvous harvest mouse and nine-banded armadillo, were previously unreported for Woodward County.
Species interesting to biologists included spotted gar, Bell’s Vireo, Graham’s crayfish snake, tiger beetles, a bryozoan, brittle cap mushroom and pincushion cactus.

The BioBlitz! was conducted in the forested park and public lands along the west side of Broken Bow Lake, including Beavers Bend Resort State Park, portions of McCurtain County and Broken Bow Wildlife Management Areas. Some of the different habitats represented were: forested ridges and narrow valleys of Ouachita Highlands upland oaks and oak-shortleaf pine; bottomlands with moist deciduous forest; lake shore and creek inlets, littoral areas and wetlands; park roadsides and camping grounds, mowed lawns and recreation areas; and the Mountain Fork River below Broken Bow Lake dam.
Most Fun
Placid Giant Walkingsticks (Diapheroma femorata) were plentiful in the Carson Creek Area campground. Walkingsticks eat plant material exclusively and are mainly active at night. Easily handled, they provided hours of entertainment for everyone.
Highlights
Rare or Endangered Species found:
Federally listed Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis). Relictual inhabitant of the McCurtain County Wilderness Area in Oklahoma. Formerly distributed throughout the southern United States, today Red-cockaded Woodpeckers are found only in scattered pockets of native pine forests.
Unusual Plants
Indian Pipe (Monotropa uniflora) is widely distributed in North America, but infrequent in Oklahoma. The plant is a saprophyte and lacks the green pigment chlorophyll. Indian Pipe indirectly receives nutrients from nearby trees through a shared relationship with fungi.

About
This city park in north Norman is 160 acres. Before the 1930s, the land was gently rolling tall- and mid-grass grassland with an intermittent creek running through it. During this time, Central State Hospital managed the land as pasture for its farm operation. Some portions of the area now in the park were under cultivation, as evidenced by contours seen today that were established to impede soil erosion. During the 1930s or later, hospital staff and patients dammed the creek for a pond, built stone bridges, a roadway around the large pond and constructed several concrete picnic tables to overlook the water. Many of the trees found in the park were planted at that time. A cemetery, now unused, was located in the far northeast corner of the quarter section. While popular with many long-time Norman residents, the park probably well known because of its association with the late ornithologist, George Miksch Sutton, who frequented the area alone or with students until his death in 1982.
