Nestled in gently rolling foothills of the Ozark Mountains, Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge is home to wildlife as unique as the bald eagle and as elusive as the bobcat. Fertile bottomlands at the confluence of the Arkansas and Canadian Rivers make this east-central Oklahoma refuge a terrific wildlife viewing destination.
Listen to the din of quacking
mallards and honking geese in winter. Mallards by the thousands choose the
Refuge as their seasonal home along the central flyway. They're joined by
gadwall, pintail, teal, wigeon, shoveler and wood ducks, along with the largest
flocks of snow geese in Oklahoma. Bald eagles that
had once all but vanished, now nest on the Refuge. In winter, you can see numerous
eagles roosting in cottonwoods or swooping over the waters in search of fish
or waterfowl.
