Released on April 14, 1982, this stamp was part of a pane of 50, with each stamp showcasing the official bird and flower of a state. For Oklahoma, the stamp features the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher and Mistletoe. The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher is a striking bird known for its long, forked tail that can be twice the length of its body. It is a common sight in Oklahoma during the summer months, often seen perched on fences or utility lines. Mistletoe was designated as the state floral emblem in 1893, even before Oklahoma became a state. It is a parasitic plant that grows on trees and is particularly visible in the winter when the host trees have lost their leaves. The stamp's artwork, a detailed and lifelike watercolor, captures the beauty and character of these two natural symbols of Oklahoma.
