Raven Stealing an Egg

A friend and I were out for a walk while on vacation in western Oklahoma when we spotted a largish black bird with what looked like a white head. I took 3 photos ( my new Canon 7D mark II and 70-300 Canon lens at 300mm). The bird was quite a distance away, so we had to crop in significantly and we saw this. It is a raven with a large egg in it's mouth. We had seen and heard wild turkeys in the area, so we assume that somewhere there is a turkey nest missing at least one egg.
Technically, it's not the greatest photo, but I think capturing a unique scene makes it worthwhile.

Thanks for all of the nice comments. It's probably one of the most unique photos I've ever taken.
