EasternBrown Pelican Feeding

This Brown Pelican extends its wings to balance and ride the waves as it feeds. Schools of fish lie close to the surface near Mustang Island, so the pelican can dip its bill under water and easily catch a pouch full. Pelicans have been listed as endangered since 1970. Eastern Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis)
