Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge
Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge is a key location for my photography. I document the diverse birdlife and wetland habitats there. I capture the seasonal migrations and the resident wildlife. I observe the interactions between species and their environment. I aim to show the refuge’s importance for conservation in the Arkansas River Valley. It’s a vital sanctuary.
