A few months ago I had a Black crowned night heron spend the day in my tree outside.
He was still enough that I was able to get these shots with a cell phone and a pair of 8x binoculars.

From my walk around local storm water run-off pond this morning. I love this time of year.

The peacock posed for me more this week than he did last.

Got this Monday morning. He was a long way off and I was not really ready. But the best eagle picture I have got so far.

It is a great shot. It's a merlin, a small falcon. You don't see them too often.

Thanks! Before a few days ago I didn't have any eagle shots. I took these from my brothers fishing boat. He told me he always sees several of them while at his local fishing spot. It was much easier to spot them and get close and they are looking your way because they watch the water. If you ever get a chance to shot from a boat in the river I would recommend trying it.
