On July 18, 2018, weighing 8.59 pounds, Bald Eagle Sequoyah fledged from AEF's hack tower on Douglas Lake wearing Patagial tag M18. Offspring of non-releasable Bald Eagles Mrs. Jefferson and Isaiah, Sequoyah (formerly MJI16) hatched in their nest in the aviary on Eagle Mountain Sanctuary April 15, 2018. On June 11, he was taken to the hack tower to acclimate to the lake and surrounding wilderness that he would enter when he was ready to fledge. Sequoyah was named in honor of Mae Shiflett, recently-deceased mother of Mod Coordinator and AEF Staff member Crystal Slusher. Sequoyah made a spectacular first flight and landed safely in a tree! We wish him safe journeys and a long life!
