RRRED

A little bit ago one of the many bald eagles that live around my house was flying across the backyard with a big stick. I kept an eye on him to see where exactly he was going and indeed there is a nest being built right where I can see it from my dining room table. I'm so excited. I'm so lucky to be able to watch all this while working.

Question... the pics I've tried to take of them never turn out good enough. I can physically see their white heads and tails from here but my pics from my little casio exilm make it look way far away.

Any ideas? I need a new camera to be able to catch all this. What's the newest best thing out there that is still automatic somewhat. I'm kinda camera retarded.
