The Eagles of Smithville Reservoir
The Eagles have Landed It is really exciting to see Bald Eagles in New Ipswich. The last couple of years there were just a few sightings but now they seem to be present near every body of water. I watched at least six juveniles harassing ducks at Smithville Reservoir (Damsite 35). Wildlife Photography I've yet to get a sharp photo of these birds. They are quite far away and I'm using a 400mm lens with a 1.4X multiplier. The sensor crop factor 2X in 35mm terms. I'm using a fast shutter speed which introduces a lot of luminance noise. I'll keep trying since they seem to have taken up permanent residence.
