I photographed this Great Egret swallowing a Crappie in the same location as the Great Blue Heron I have been posting photos of. The Sally Jones West Causeway has been an outstanding area to photograph these two types of birds catching and eating fish this season.

How I Got The Photo – Great Egret Swallowing A Crappie
Just like my photos of the Great Blue Heron, 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.
