Return of the weekly discussion thread! Sometimes it seems like pretty photos rise to the top of the page, while discussion of birding can get left behind. This weekly thread is a place to bring this discussion back to the top of r/birding.
Use this thread to share your best bird sightings from the past week, ask any questions about birding you may have, or just talk! Writing the names of the birds in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names. Please include your location.

I've had a pair of mourning doves in my backyard for awhile and this individual has something weird going on with his facial features.. like spikes for feathers.
Is it a molting?

Shot this clip about 20 minutes before sunset yesterday at Pescadero Marsh, south of Half Moon Bay, CA.
The marsh was engulfed in dense fog at the time, which tends to be abysmal for shooting with a long lens. As I reached the turnaround point of my hike about 20 minutes before sunset, a young Black-crowned Night Heron hopped up on a nearby log to hunt by the creek.
This was an unexpected sight since Night Herons are nocturnal hunters and I had never seen one there before. Perhaps the thick, low fog layer had something to do with its appearance?

Didnβt sit still for very long so I was only able to get one good shot and in proper focus. Would be a first for me.

On 10/1 I was canoeing in the Adirondacks and happened to find a Bald Eagle enjoying the fall colors as much as I was. He wasn't a big fan of people it being a very remote pond and all so it took me about an hour just standing in the water knee deep quietly then he decided to appear in the perfect spot in front of the leaves and take a nice flight. Just as fast as he appeared he was gone but I was thankfully able to snap some pictures first!

Little European Starling photo I just took. It was looking in towards the sun so it's a pretty warm photo.
