My guess is that the birds on your dock are cormorants. I see them all the time on the reef (Black Cat Shoals) when it's above water. It gets completely submerged at full lake level which is why they're probably hanging out in other places for now.
This photo is from the information page on the WeatherCam. Since I labeled it 'Cormorants,' anyone please let me know if I'm wrong, if you are a bird expert and you know for sure.
