Since I moved to the lakeshore I've suspected that one day I'd add an American White Pelican to my yard list. I came close on Sunday when I was leaving my worksite a mile up the road and noticed a group of 6 Pelicans off shore from the plant. I quickly drove home, grabbed the camera and raced back to work but the birds had left by the time I returned. At the time I thought if I had headed to edge of my bluff I may have been able to get a flyby shot as the small flock moved on.

This morning I did some yard birding after work. From the edge of my bluff I noticed a large white bird off shore from my worksite.

After just a few moment the large bird took flight and fortuitously headed my direction.

Also this morning while birding the street-side of my property I noticed a motionless doe with a distressed look. I initially thought she might be injured but a view through binoculars revealed the reason(s) for her anxiety.

Red-headed Woodpeckers are being seen daily, usually flying over but this one stopped for a snack.
A couple of other photogenic birds also posed for portraits.
