Eagles are cool. I had a camp on Salmon River, Kent Co., NB.ca. I used to sit between two huge pines with large "crag" braches sticking out over the river. Eagles would perch on them (one at a time) waiting for fish and ducks. They were about twenty feet over me and, staying still, they didn't see me. Quite a show. Even more so were the ospreys that never lit.

The best was "Beaker". A peregrine falcon who would perch on my upper deck railing. I was below in a screened in porch or sitting on the lower deck railing. It was unperturbed by my presence after we became friends. I watched it go after mice for hours and hours. Quite a show.

Then, there were the Moose Birds, the owls and many others... even the whippoorwills (which I never saw as they were out only at night... good thing because when you keep up a man that owns a 12 gauge shotgun up half the night, yer pokin the dragon eh?). I miss my camp.
