Every fall, during fall migration, I will have a single collared dove show up for a few days in my yard. Never more than one at a time and only during the month of November. They are striking in their size and colors. The largest dove I've seen. Just passing thru.

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.

I've been wanting to capture the pale (or gray) coloured winter plumage of the American Avocet. My wish came true! I know others have found or seen a huge flock at the other Miquelon Lake, but this one Avocet was hanging around the beach area. These are all lifer shots for me!

I haven't seen any chipping sparrows for a while, so I only just realized that they have changed into fall colors. This bird allowed me to get pretty close yesterday afternoon.
A female Yellow Rumped Warbler visited my fountain yesterday. Also known as a Myrtle Warbler. In her winter plumage. You can see the faint yellow under her wings but she kept her wings covering the patch of yellow on her rump. I saw it when she flew.

Male rose-breasted grosbeak, heading south. I don't know that I've ever before seen a rose-breasted grosbeak at this time of year.
