American White Pelican

Pelecanus erythrorhynchos


American White Pelican is the largest seabird in North America with a wing-span that approches 3 meters (10 feet).

White Pelicans do not dive for fish as the Brown Pelican does. Instead, they float above water in a small group and fish cooperatively, moving into a circle to concentrate fish, and then dipping their heads under simultaneously to catch fish.
