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.

I think these birds may be the toughest to photograph even though they will come within a foot of you. I finally got a couple of in focus photos today in sunlight and with the bird facing the right direction. It took a good half hour and over a hundred attempts. One of my favorite birds for sure.

Photographing birds in the rain is a challenge however the richness of colors and saturation of hues make the effort worth it.
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.
This little guy actually tried to land on my shoulder, but it startled me so 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.
