Brown Pelican, Pelecanus occidentalis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pelicans are large birds with large pouched bills. The smallest is the
Brown Pelican (P. occidentalis), small individuals of which can be as
little as 2.75 kg (6 lb), 106 cm (42 in) long and can have a wingspan
of as little as 1.83 m (6 ft). The largest is believed to be the
Dalmatian Pelican (P. crispus), at up to 15 kg (33 lb), 183 cm (72 in)
long, with a maximum wingspan of nearly 3.5 m (11.5 ft). The
Australian Pelican has the longest bill of any bird[1].
Pelicans swim well with their short, strong legs and their feet with all four toes webbed (as in all birds placed in the order Pelecaniformes). The tail is short and square, with 20 to 24 feathers. The wings are long and have the unusually large number of 30 to 35 secondary flight feathers. A layer of special fibers deep in the breast muscles can hold the wings rigidly horizontal for gliding and soaring. Thus they can exploit thermals to commute over 150 km (100 miles) to feeding areas.[1]
Pelicans rub the backs of their heads on their preen glands to pick up its oily secretion, which they transfer to their plumage to waterproof it.[1]
