Hi all,


I thought I would get this thread started this week. Hopefully the floods aren't impacting Steve too much.


All of these were taken in Newburyport, MA with a 7D 100-400L. I made a second trip trying to see a few eagles and found a lot of ducks, gulls and geese. I did find one eagle about 300 yards away. So, it looks like I'll be making a third trip in another couple of weeks [].





100 mm, 1/800, f/8, ISO 200. +1.17 stops in DPP (I had just finished taking pictures of a sea gull flying near me (3rd pic)in M, took two steps and spooked these ducks [:$])

There was about 75 yards of ducks, geese and sea gullsall laying along the same general line on the ice. This is just one section of them. Next time, I'll bring a wider angle lens.
