Finding fun in Oklahoma is easy when
you know where to look.
Oklahoma Bald Eagle ViewingOklahoma is one of the top 10 states in the nation for winter eagle viewing.
Each winter, as northern lakes freeze over, thousands of bald eagles migrate to
warmer, southern waters. Oklahoma is especially attractive to these magnificent
birds. During severe winters in the north, 750 to 1,500 eagles may gather here.
A small resident population of about 85 bald eagles also lives here year-round. Here's a link to a story about spotting some Bald Eagles on Okmulgee, Oklahoma's Dripping Springs Lake. Another good spot to find Oklahoma Bald Eagles is in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. The Keystone Dam exit is west of Sand Springs about five miles on either Hwy 64/412 or St. Hwy 51. Take exit St. Hwy 151 onto the dam from either highway. Look for “Eagles” signs to the Watchable Wildlife Area. Lake Tenkiller State Park/ Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge Caravan through the refuge observing bald eagles. Stick around the refuge and enjoy afternoon loon watches. Eagle and loon events will occur unless a travel advisory is issued for the area.

Chardonnay Grape Vine One Gallon Chardonnay is a good-yielding white wine grape variety that buds early in the season and also ripens relatively early. Chardonnay ripens easily and produces medium-to-full-bodied wines with rich apple, citrus, and tropical fruit aromas and flavors, but the variety's full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter, and vanilla.

Grow your own wine grapes!
With Oklahoma weather always bringing the threat
of tornados and ice storms, plans should be made to endure potential power
outages. With the increase of home offices, electronic equipment and increased
reliance on electricity, many homeowners have purchased a portable generator for
use in their home during power outages. But, they may lack a safe and economical
way to connect their generator.
