A lone Hermit Thrush, resting lakeside while the autumn leaves change color. These short distance birds are the last of the thrushes to head south for the winter. Some of them will also continue living through the cold months within the United States, one of the only North American thrushes to do so.

A female Black-Throated Blue Warbler making her way down south. These beautiful warblers make their winter home down in the Bahamas, Mexico, and Central America. This one was perching lakeside, at sunset!

Northern Shovelers gliding above the reeds! These dabbling ducks have a large shovel shaped beak, allowing them to easily scoop up small insects and food from the water.

Shaking off the wet feathers! This gorgeous Green Heron sat in front of me for quite a while, at a short distance in the shade.

Black-Crowned Night Herons in their natural habitat! Resting along the pond’s edge, preparing for the night. They are a nocturnal bird, and come out at dusk.

Magnolia Warblers are out and about along Lake Erie, on their trek down south. One of my favorite species of warblers. Still quite colorful in the fall!
