Map of USGS gauge 07176500 and the river around it
Where Bird Creek at Avant, OK sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation uses are 60°F and 70°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 9.9–95 ft³/s (middle half of 49 years of record). Now: 29 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 29 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 49 years of record (1978–2026): 10th 5, 25th 9.9, median 21, 75th 95, 90th 474 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.4 ft³/s, highest 4,100 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (+7.8% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
