Pelecanus occidentalis
This large shore bird is the smallest of the eight species of pelican.
Pelicans can be found in salt marshes and along the coastline of oceans and seas. It is sometimes seen farther out to sea.
The brown pelican has an interesting way of fishing. It can be seen soaring above the water and then will plunge head first into the water to catch its prey.
