It looked like the killdeer were gossiping about the new stranger in their midst. Also, look carefully at the end of the dowitcher's tail. Can you see the least sandpiper peeking out?

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.

This little guy actually tried to land on my shoulder, but it startled me and I flinched. But it still landed on the railing of the bridge right behind me in perfect morning sunlight. This was my greeting while crossing the footbridge at the entrance to the Riverpoint trails in Falmouth.

Interesting fact about dowitchers, the chicks are able to walk immediately upon hatching. When all the chicks are hatched, they all leave the nest, the parents never feed them.

This was the first ever Pend Oreille County record of a Black-bellied Plover. Exciting!

End of round one. This went on four more then an hour and ten minutes. After that , I left them to look for the Cooper's in the trees.
Nice when you can get a shot with feather detail, behavior and reflection at the same time.

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.
