Description
Unlike the American White Pelican that scoops up fish from the surface of the water, the Brown pelican (pelecanus occidentalis) plunges head first from the air into the water to catch its food. Often you can observe these heavy water birds with their massive bills plunging in groups as seen in this image photographed off the Guanacaste coast of Costa Rica. The fish must have been plentiful at the mouth of this small stream as dozens of pelicans participated in a feeding frenzy for several minutes.
