I photographed this Bald Eagle eating a bird at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. The bird that it is eating looks like a Brown Thrasher to me.

I parked on the auto tour road between Tuff Pond and the 4-corners intersection. I was inside my pickup hand-holding my camera and lens because I was directly underneath the Eagle.
