The Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is the smallest member of the seven species of the pelican family. It is typically 106-137 cm in length.
This bird is distinguished from the American White Pelican by its brown body and its habit of diving for fish from the air, as opposed to co-operative fishing from the surface. It eats mainly herring-like fish. Groups of Brown Pelicans often travel in single file, flying low over the water’s surface.
