Pelecanus occidentalis - Pelicans are characterized by large beaks and throat pouches used for catching and holding prey. The brown pelican is the smallest pelican; there are currently eight extant species. The Peruvian and brown pelican are the only two pelicans known to dive into the water to catch their prey. Juveniles tend to forge on the surface, but take to diving when mature. Pelicans build their nest in colonies. The males chooses the nesting site and begins a display ritual during the construction phase to attract a female.
