White Pelicans winter in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and I love to watch them.  I've gotten to see a couple of flocks flying overhead (at my house) during times of migration - very cool!

Last year I had one new yard bird - a Red-shoulder Hawk.  I did not know if I'd get one this year - guess what? I did! 

I headed down to the Big Creek Monday afternoon.  I knew the Chokecherries were in bloom and I figure that they might have some warblers hanging out. 

As soon as I got settled I could hear something "chipping" on the far side of the creek.  I located it with my binoculars!

It was a Nashville Warbler - a new-to-me Yard Bird!

It did a pretty good job posing for a couple of minutes and with the max zoom on the camera I quickly snapped off a few photos.

So pleased to be able to add this lovely bird to my Life List.  I'll be making more trips back down to the Big Creek - you can bet on it!
