I recently had the privilege of visiting the Sally Jones West Causeway in Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. It was here that I was able to capture a stunning photo of a Great Blue Heron spearing a sunfish in deep water.
I parked on the side of the auto tour road at the Sally Jones West Causeway (Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma). I had my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
