This is a fledgling Northern Parula. I believe it is the smallest warbler that breeds in the northern forest.

It was a beautiful day to walk through Prospect Park today. I like the cooler weather, as do the migrating birds, and now that school is back on, the park was very quiet. It's always humbling trying to capture warbler shots and I forget that in the fall they don't really sing, so they are harder to find, and there is way more foliage and overgrowth than during the spring migration.
I'm pretty sure it's a Tennessee. Strike through the eye, sharp bill and nice green and faint wing thingies.

A pair of Whooping Cranes (Grus americana) stand out while gleaning food in the tall grasses of a marsh in Necedah Wildlife Refuge. This was my first time to get close enough to make a decent capture of this big bird. Whooping Cranes are the largest bird in North America with a length of 59 inches and a wingspan of 90 inches. Both sexes at maturity are pure white except for distinctive red and black markings on their heads and black on the tips of their wings. Conservation/reintroduction efforts with Whooping Cranes have paid off and population is estimated at close to 600 birds today, rebounded from a low of only 15 birds in the 1940s (www.allaboutbirds.org). It was wonderful to see these birds thriving in the wilds of Wisconsin.
Bird migration forecast maps show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours. Colorado State University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology currently produce these forecasts.
Looks like a possibility of a fallout along Red River and anywhere north in Oklahoma. Okies need to be out the morning of Aug. 09.
Not in focus, but caught her dropping into the air. Its amazing how far birds drop before they open their wings.

On Monday, I decided to see if there were any interesting birds in Lake White since fall migration has begun.
I saw and photographed various ducks. I believe the majority of them are mallards, but since I saw some of different sizes, I am hoping that I am wrong and perhaps there are some migrants in the flock. However, I need help from others, as my duck and bird identification skills are a work in progress.
Information for the Bird Identification Group: taken in Lake White State Park, Waverly, Ohio, USA on September 12, 2016.
The "deep" part of Lake White is so large that it is hard to distinguish birds that are far out on the water, even with my lens at 400mm. (I should have brought my extender.)
The lake is currently lowered and will continue to remain low while the earthen dam and spillway are being rebuilt. So this does allow for the possibility of some wading birds in the "deep" part.
