Here is an image of a baby Pigeon, made with iPhone 4S ... this chick was well concealed in a corner behind the ledge of our office exhaust fan (I guess the Mama Pigeon was making sure cool air-conditioned air from our office to protect her baby from the intense desert heat ... what a smart move) ... the only way I could make this image was with my iPhone stuck through the exhaust fan, aiming at this bird, as the gap was too narrow for any camera, let alone my DSLR, to fit.

My Heron friend caught his 3rd fish since we've been a fishing team. 7D, 100-400@400.
Wow! That was a big one! Good catch! And I mean the fish - compliment to the team! :)

Well either you or your iPhone or both need a medal of honour. Good picture.

Wilson's Phalaropes, females in this case (which tend to be flashier than the males), out at Cherry Creek State Park in Colorado:
