The Bald Eagle in Oklahoma
Nongame Wildlife Program
In 1981, the state legislatute passed the Nongame wildlife Act, allowing taxpayers
entitled to a refund to assist nongame wildlife. By checking the appropriate line
on the state income tax form, you can donate $2, $5 or any portion of your refund
to suppon the Nongame Wildlife Program. Your donation will be deducted from the
refund check and is tax deductible on next year's fedetal tax form if you itemize.
Look for the Nongame Program's new logo (shown below) and remember to "Search
for the scissortail" on your state tax form.
Besides re-establishing a nesting population of bald eagles in the state,
the Nongame Program has used funds to census wintering eagle populations, enhance
viewing opportunities and provide informational workshops. Donations also help
other endangered species, prairie dogs, bluebirds and other bird species, and
watchable wildlife around the state.
Even if you aren't receiving a state tax refund, you can still support the
Nongame Program with an annual donation by mail. To support the program, or
