Oh, say, can you see? Marc Morgan walks the Shores nearly every morning. It's a great way to meet the neighbors, and start the day with energy and focus. This time of year his walks begin before sunrise, but by the time he works his way down to the point the sun is usually up, which is good because otherwise he would have missed this bald eagle perched in a tree at the end of Tulsa, by [...]

And if [...]

Mystery swirling in night sky over Woodland Shores! Wow!! Did anyone else catch that crazy sight in the night sky tonight around 7pm?

From our viewpoint near the Woodland Shores entrance sign, looking toward the north, about 45 degrees above the horizon was a HUGE swirl looking [...]
