Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
A major concern of the Nongame Program is the apparent decline in populations of Neotropical migrants such as Bell's vireo, yellow-billed cuckoo, painted bunting and the endangered black-capped vireo. The Nongame Program hopes to raise the public's awareness of the decline of these and other species.
The Nongame Tax Check-off on the state tax form is located next to a picture of a scissortail (shown above). People receiving refunds can donate any amount of their tax refund to the Nongame Program. Even if they don't receive a refund, people can assist in protecting Neotropical songbirds by mailing a donation to: Nongame Wildlife Program, 1801 N. Lincoln, Oklahoma City, OK 73105. People donating $10 or more will receive a special wildlife- related gift.
The colorful Wildlife Conservation License Plates cost an additional $25, with $20 going to the Nongame Program, and function as the regular car tag on the rear of the vehicle. Two plate designs are available featuring a scissor-tailed flycatcher and a white-tailed deer. The plates can be personalized at no extra cost and application forms are available at tag agencies statewide or from the Nongame Program.
