During fall migration...with a dusting of snow...very nervous birds and I could not sneak any closer

The above photo shows the number of shorebirds that were hanging around the shoreline of an undisturbed area of the park. With only one supertele, I had to stitched three frames together (while keeping the same DOF), and my only regret with this photo is that I should have taken a fourth or more frame(s) to include a bit of land on the right. This image is just an intro to my upcoming shorebirds photos. Enjoy!
Large gatherings of the snow geese during late fall 2017, just before heading farther south for the winter.
This eagle and another were flying low in loose circles along the edge of the Gratiot River in Conservation Park, Alma Michigan. A few minutes later when I was getting into my vehicle I observed an eagle soaring very high near a few turkey vultures.
None of these pictures are cropped. When I first noticed in the bush beside the trail, I had to step back to get the picture.
Every spring and fall during migration I usually see a few warblers turn up in my yard. I don't know how they find my very tiny patch of wooded area amongst the greater urban sprawl, but I consider it a gift when they do! This little Cape May Warbler popped up from behind the branches this past Wednesday and totally made my day! He is still wearing enough of his breeding colors so he was an easy ID! Had 2 other Warblers that day as well! It felt like it was my birthday! 😂😊
An AHY male Cape May Warbler in fall plumage. This has been a bird I've wanted to photograph for a while, and although I'm still wanting to get photos in breeding plumage, I was pretty happy with some of the shots in this series.

Migration forecasts come from models trained on the last 23 years of bird movements in the atmosphere as detected by the US NEXRAD weather surveillance radar network. In these models we use the North American Mesoscale Forecast System (NAM) to predict suitable conditions for migration occurring three hours after local sunset. Warmer colors correspond to more intense bird migration. These maps also show precipitation (outlined and shown in grayscale) forecasts. Note, areas forecast to experience precipitation and bird migration may overlap, and predictions for migration intensity may be highly variable in these locations.
Support for this research comes from Leon Levy Foundation, Edward W. Rose Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission. These models were made possible by additional research at University of Massachusetts Amherst and University of Oklahoma. The BirdCast project, a collaboration among Cornell Lab of Ornithology, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Oregon State University, was funded by grants from the National Science Foundation and Leon Levy Foundation.
We sure do have a lot of fallen trees for various ducks to loaf on just above the water at the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Delta BC Canada. This looks like an immature male Greater Scaup, but of course I didn't take another picture of a slightly different pose showing more field marks, so posting it four years later this is my best guess.
