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.

This Young Bald Eagle In Flight was feeding on a Snow Goose at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. A vehicle was driving the tour road, and this caused the Bald Eagle to take flight.

I parked on the auto tour road while watching the Eagle feed on the Snow Goose from a distance. When it took flight I started photographing the bird. This occurred on the section of the tour road between the entrance and Tuff Boat Ramp.

I had my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
