    Ask a local. Loved…read morevisiting Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City. The park is filled with flower gardens, native prairie grssses and som many walkways. It was so nice to explore on a sunny spring afternoon. This has to be a bird lovers paradise. The Scissortail is the state bird of Oklahoma. It is known for its distinctive black and white tail that seems to open and close like a pair of scissors during flight. Just the tail can grow up to 10 inches. Although I did not see any Scissortails, there were plenty of other birds to spot. Red-winged blackbirds. House finches. Great tailed grackles. Green herons. Great white egrets. And the cutest family of Canada geese with their little gosling babies. Adorable! Don't miss the Skydance Bridge. Also known as the Scissortail Bridge, it is inspired by the courtship dance of the Scissortail birds. The pedestrian bridge crosses over I-40 linking the two sides of the park. A great recommendation from a local.

I always love visiting Scissortail Park, whether it is for the farmers markets, Ballet Under the Stars, or just a peaceful walk. It is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and exactly what our city needed. Go for a visit soon!
