Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge

Established in 1970, Sequoyah NWR is one of more than 540 refuges in the United States.

The refuge name honors Sequoyah, a Native American, who invented a Cherokee alphabet consisting of syllables that allowed his tribe to preserve their traditions and history in writing.

By the close of the century, outlaws found the hardwood forests and rivers ideal for their wild lifestyle. Belle Star, Frank and Jesse James, the Daltons, the Youngers and “Pretty Boy” Floyd roamed the area.

I managed to shoot a few photos at the refuge today including these two Bald Eagles.
