Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: patric on December 17, 2006, 12:39:38 am This fox looked to be almost the size of an average dog, and just sat there in the road on 25th St. near the Broken Arrow Expressway.
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-12/1116161/12-16-06_25thCollege.jpg) Seemed much less interested in me as I crept past than whatever animal was on the other side of the fence, but he does seem to be well-fed. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: swake on December 17, 2006, 08:52:58 am I saw a fox yesterday afternoon, he ran across 21st just east of Lewis at about 2:00. Might even be the same one, he looked young.
I wish I had my camera with me. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: tulsa1603 on December 17, 2006, 10:55:28 pm I've seen a little fox here in Florence Park two or three times... I've also seen more than a few racoons around here, too. My co-worker saw one trotting down the middle of Boston Avenue near 18th one morning at 5am.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: carltonplace on December 18, 2006, 09:17:49 am When I lived near Crow Creek I saw Raccoon, fox, rabbits, skunk (my labrador got the business end of one once) and such all of the time. Now that I live closer to DT and the river, all I ever see are opossum.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: unknown on December 18, 2006, 04:19:23 pm I saw a fox around 4:00 this morning close to 56th and Riverside.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Steve on December 23, 2006, 11:56:30 pm I have seen foxes and sundry wildlife in my well established (52+ years old) subdivision at 26th St. South and Yale. They are not encroaching on our territory, we are violating theirs. Respect the wildlife, and they will give you no problems, in my experience.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: si_uk_lon_ok on December 24, 2006, 05:16:51 am I think its a bit sad that for the most part I can judge the concentration of wildlife by whats left of them by the side of the road.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: jdb on December 24, 2006, 08:32:19 am Been a Mama Fox running Kenosha for years now.
There was a slew of rabbits that lived in the "grove" on the 3rd st. vacant lot. With the trees now felled: guess she won't be coming back from here out. But there'll never be a shortage of 'coons. Got enough of those to choke Godzilla. Don't guess regular bum's count as wildlife, but we can't leave out the Big Foot that migrates up and down the RR tracks behind John Taylor's Citgo station on 2nd. Type B personality, fer sure. Squirrells ain't such good eatin' raw: nor filling if your a big, fat, starving guy. jdb Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: patric on January 10, 2007, 06:05:02 pm "It's big, and it flies, and it's attacking runners at River Parks."

Do you think the birds on Riverside might be telling us something. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: pmcalk on January 10, 2007, 10:41:12 pm Has anyone noticed the two bald eagles along Riverside between 41st & 51st (east side)? I know bald eagles have been nesting around the area for a while, but I have been amazed at how frequently I see them these days. I have seen one or two of them every morning for the past week.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: cks511 on January 12, 2007, 12:43:04 pm Yes, I've seen those two eagles and saw another one gliding around 11th yesterday.... AND I've been attacked by the owl. There's also a HUGE red fox that trots down the trail between 11th and 15th about 4AM some mornings and he's not scared of much.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: patric on February 05, 2007, 11:14:37 am The neighborhood fox ran in front of me at 26th & Harvard Saturday night (probably positioning himself for Sunday night's Curbside Buffet).
I also suspect there may be fewer stray cats roaming around here, given his size. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: sgrizzle on February 05, 2007, 12:36:48 pm There was an owl in my front yard yesterday. Apparently foxes like owls because I saw one near hooters a few months ago.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: patric on March 21, 2007, 02:26:30 pm Got to love that "you cant catch me" look.

Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Breadburner on March 21, 2007, 07:59:14 pm Witnessed a Great Horned Owl get himself some Cottantail for dinner last night.....
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: cannon_fodder on March 22, 2007, 07:35:46 am I have seen fox in Tulsa:
1) Creek Turnpike near Olive 2) OSU College of Medicine over by the refineries and 3) at Mohawk park That's pretty good for an urban environment. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: patric on February 06, 2008, 03:05:00 pm Last week saw an owl perched on the rain gutter at the back door glaring at a somewhat agitated cat inside (he was twice the cat's size)...
...and last night a neighbor's motion detector drew my attention to a fox sniffing at where their garbage is usually put. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Nick Danger on February 06, 2008, 04:06:57 pm We have seen quite a few raccoons that apparently live in the storm drains in our neighborhood (south of the Creek Turnpike between Yale and Sheridan).
I have also seen a rather large coyote walking down the street 2 times during daylight. Doesn't seem to be afraid of anything... I guess that's why we haven't seen any rabbits around here for a couple of years, although a few years ago, you couldn't plant anything without it being devoured. Two years ago, I also saw a deer running through the neighborhood, but haven't seen it since then. I figure it lives somewhere in the woods around the turnpike.

http://www.desertusa.com/magnov97/nov_pap/du_collpecc.html (http://"http://") There have been a couple of dogs attacked in the north Scottsdale area that were pretty severe. My wife in her dog walking business has encountered these, a couple of bobcats, and in the Troon area there are a couple of mountain lions from time to time. She hasn't had any attacks on the dogs she takes care of fortunately. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: patric on February 06, 2008, 04:51:46 pm quote: There used to be at least two in that area; you could hear them calling to one another at night. Good at ridding the neighborhood of rats and mice, but may be tougher for them with so many roosts destroyed by the ice storm (or lit up by floodlights). Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: TURobY on February 06, 2008, 05:10:55 pm quote: I've seen a couple owls in our neighborhood (Renaissance), and tons of bats.

Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: waterboy on February 06, 2008, 07:54:25 pm Strange that this topic came back up. Yesterday around mid day I saw what looked like two very large grey wolves. Too big for foxes, too gray and full bodied for coyotes. On 106th west of Memorial in a cul-de-sac where Avalon Medical sits. Beautiful animals that stared at me then disappeared into the wooded area behind the bank. Never see any rabbits around there! Or stray dogs either.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: rwarn17588 on February 06, 2008, 10:14:18 pm Ummm, are there really wolves in Oklahoma?
I'm not saying it's impossible, but the references I've seen say that wolves disappeared in the Sooner State in the 1930s. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: bugo on February 06, 2008, 11:31:06 pm I saw a fox run across 41st between Sheridan and Memorial about a month ago. Somebody told me they were released into the city to eliminate some vermin, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. I also have seen a raccoon at 51st and Lewis several times.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: waterboy on February 07, 2008, 07:26:41 am quote: Larger than coyotes, silver gray and confirmed by employees of the nearby medical clinic. About the size of a German police dog but the head was different. This is on the edge of a farm with wild turkeys, foxes, cows etc. that routinely amble through the area. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: restored2x on February 07, 2008, 07:57:33 am Used to see lots of beavers in the creek behind the 81st and Lewis Walmart. Haven't been around there in years so I don't know if they're still there.
Two giant falcons or hawks or something in my neighborhood in BA. Saw one snatch a bird out of mid-flight a few weeks ago. Impressive.

Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: si_uk_lon_ok on February 07, 2008, 09:42:35 am I was thinking of wildlife today.
I was walking to work and saw some pigeons eating frozen sick on the sidewalk. I also see lots of foxes in the morning. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Breadburner on February 07, 2008, 10:12:01 am No native wolves in Ok....Something thats escaped someone possible....
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: mspivey on February 07, 2008, 10:22:17 am Interesting topic. I read the other day that most foxes in the US are in urban areas where there are few natural predators like coyotes, wolves, and feral dogs. I thought that was odd.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Breadburner on February 07, 2008, 11:01:24 am There are more in wild but they adapt to city living well.....
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: NellieBly on February 07, 2008, 12:16:10 pm I saw two foxes at 29th and Yale a couple of weeks ago in broad daylight. One crossed the Yale (he looked like he knew what he was doing crossing the street) and met up with another one then they both disappeared behind a business. We have an owl in our yard. We didn't start seeing it until after the ice storm so I figured he was displaced.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: patric on February 07, 2008, 12:26:56 pm quote: I figure we didnt notice them because they were high up in trees that suddenly no longer exist.

You can hear them on some quiet nights and they have taken neighborhood pets. I've seen two running across the field, a light grey and a darker grey/black. They seem to be well fed. There are new neighborhoods being developed, so I assume they will have to find a new home. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Breadburner on February 09, 2008, 09:00:48 am Coyotes possibly....No Wolves....Sorry...
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: waterboy on February 09, 2008, 11:02:23 am I have been very close to a coyote that I met while passing a sand bar on the Arkansas River. These were no coyotes. And the 121st Sheridan location is within a couple of miles of my sighting.
Just because they are no longer indigenous doesn't mean there might not be some strays or some runaway domestics that are surviving. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: patric on October 14, 2008, 09:42:54 am quote: Any recent coyote or coyote-like sightings? BTW, I havent seen or heard the owls that are around the Ranch Acres-Utica Square area since the ice storm. May have something to do with the perches I last saw them on being gone... Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Conan71 on October 14, 2008, 11:35:27 am This poor critter was caught at our shop a few weeks ago. We have coons, skunks, and opossum around here (about 1/4 mile south of the Sinclair Refinery.) One of our welders brought a trap in. We've since asked him not to trap any more animals once we figured out animal control doesn't drop off wildlife somewhere out in the country. FYI- QT taquitos apparently are tasty morsels to coons.
We are just close enough to the river and semi-wilderness between here and Turkey Mtn, that you will see all sorts of stuff around.

I was riding in a car and it took out of a tree and floated right along side for a few seconds, my jaw nearly hit the floorboard.
Also, within weeks, I woke up to some crazy screaming sound. It turned out to be a tiny little owl sitting in the tree in the front yard. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Townsend on October 14, 2008, 12:48:47 pm I've noticed more hawks over the house than I used to. Maybe feasting on what seems to be an increased populous of squirrels in my area of 27th and Yale.
Have some flying squirrels jumping tree to tree causing quite a bit of excitement for my two dogs. I used to see fox in the Sears lot on 21st and Yale but it's been a while.

I live at 41st and Riverside and drive between OSU Medical Center and home each night after 11. Good time to see fox running around. One time I was at Riverside and Southwest Blvd around midnight and seen a fox run across Riverside and right after it was a jack russell terrier chasing it like the dickens. The chase was on!!! They ran off under the SW Blvd bridge and into the night. Hope the jack russell found his way home after that. [:O] The other night I seen 3 different coons run into storm drains at different places. It musta been a night out for them all. My lhasa and a fox had a stare down right here by the house one night last summer. It was great and the fox finally just turned around and walked away. My dog was like "what the crap was that?!" One more story. 2 years ago a friend of mine was going to adopt a dog, so we went to the animal shelter on Erie. When we went down the road to the shelter, we seen 2 yellow kittens playing by the side of the shelter road,I was sure someone had dumped them. Well we went to the shelter and it was closed. We left and as we approached the kittens a hawk suddenly swooped down and snatched one of the kittens up and flew off!!We were so shocked to have seen it happen right before our eyes!! I was raised in the country so I understand this stuff but my city raised friend was freaked out!!

I guess I didn't realize how loud I'd made the sound effect, but my wife was ready to kill me when she got off the phone. I was making raptor sound effects in the back-ground and I guess her friend heard the "eeek, eeeek, rawwwwk, rawwwwkk!" Some people who bought two of our Yorkie pups lost them to a couple of coyotes who scaled an 8 ft wall, not fence, to get into their backyard near 101st & Sheridan a few years back.

I was getting into my truck yesterday evening about 5:45 when one of the flying squirrels landed feet from me in the yard. That was a surprise. The bigger surprise was seconds later a hawk landed on the squirrel and assisted it to shed its mortal coil. I was attempting to get a picture of it but alas, I am too slow and the bird was too quick. Anyway, that's my Marlin Perkins moment.

I grew up outside of Tahlequah and I believe there are more critters in Tulsa than in the country, especially squirrels! The eagles are beautiful on Riverside, have you gone to the webcam at their nest?
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Jonette on October 16, 2008, 11:00:34 pm Can someone post a link to the eagle's webcam?
[:D] I am sure living right here by the river, we get a lot of wildlife because the river supports it quite well. Most of the fox I see around here at night are either running to or from the river. Then there are the ducks and geese. I see a fox about once a month. Of course there are squirrel everywhere, but my daughter has a "favorite" squirrel. She has named him squirley, he has a tail that is just a nub and he will come real close to you, but when he runs away, he is like a jet. I seen him today by the trash cans. I seen 3 hawks or eagles, I'm not sure what they were, soaring above 41st and Peoria yesterday, they were really high so I am not sure what they were, but they were really beautiful. As you can tell, I love wildlife and am always paying attention for an opportunity for a siting. I have 2 dogs,(dalmation and lhasa-mix) and a macaw parrot at home. They are all precious to me. What kinds of pets do you all have? [?] Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: charky on October 17, 2008, 10:09:51 am Lots and lots of nocturnal bunnies in my neighborhood (Holiday Hills). They all do the "if-I-remain-motionless-maybe-the-ugly-humans-won't-see-me" bit in the front yard.
Have also seen plenty of skunks along the treeline of the Riverside trails...usually very early morning. Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: bugo on October 17, 2008, 07:28:43 pm They say there are no wolves in Oklahoma. They also say there are no mountain lions, but that is a lie. There are mountain lions living in the Ouachitas. I've heard them scream.
Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: bugo on October 17, 2008, 07:29:53 pm I saw another fox a few months ago at about 45th and Lewis. I've seen the raccoon near my apartment several times recently.

Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: sauerkraut on October 18, 2008, 10:16:18 am I don't know about Mountain Lions in Tulsa, but in parts of California they are all over and have attacked joggers.

Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Conan71 on October 24, 2008, 10:00:27 am One of my rowing partners and I were just finishing up a row this morning when we saw a red fox on the north dock down at the boat house. He went back up the ramp after getting a drink, then proceeded south along the river bank foraging as he went.
I was not aware of this, but apparently the foxes are fond of shoes and have stolen a few over the years from rowing club members. That was my partner's biggest concern that none of our shoes had gone missing. There were also a couple of cats wandering the west bank this morning as well. The big Oktoberfest tent was coming down as I left the parking lot this morning kinda wish it was a 10 day event like the fair [:(] Title: Urban Wildlife Post by: Porky on October 26, 2008, 07:17:16 pm quote: Good grief.......that thing looks like it's part coyote!

Always fun to see them. Title: Re: Urban Wildlife Post by: Townsend on August 28, 2018, 11:01:15 am If you're getting raccoons in the attic, you need to call The Skunk Whisperer PRONTO!!! Like before they start having babies up there! http://www.totalwildlifecontrol.com/ -- Tell them I sent you. Ned's a really good guy and he won't hurt the animals. He's all about exclusion and making your home unattractive to wildlife. I wondered whatever happened to that dude when the TV show didn't happen. He moved to Florida...guess there's more critters Title: Re: Urban Wildlife Post by: AngieB on August 28, 2018, 12:08:52 pm I wondered whatever happened to that dude when the TV show didn't happen. He moved to Florida...guess there's more critters Yes, he got divorced, sold all his belongings and move to an island in Florida. He's very happy in his new life. Edited to add: The TV show *did* happen but it was not what Ned wanted. Animal Planet hired some buffoon to play the part of an employee and damaged Ned's reputation. It was pretty bad.

We have a playful fox family which is always good for a laugh when they come trotting by.
