BioBlitz! Oklahoma
October 5-7, 2012 Foss State Park & 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. Download a copy of the detailed schedule as a PDF Showing and chat with the producer of "Where Did the Horny Toads Go?"(documentary website) Taxa Checklists for Custer County and State (download as PDFs) Lists represent species that have been previously found in the in area or statewide. During BioBlitz! you will not find all these species and you may find ones to add to this list.
