THE PELICAN REPORT


General Clasification The white pelican is one of the most successful fish-eating birds.
Description The success is largely due to its command hunting behaviour. A
group, perhaps two dozen birds, will gather in a curved arc some
distance offshore. The birds then begin to move forward towards
the shore, beating the water furiously with their wings, driving the
fish before them.
When the water is shallow enough for the birds to reach the fish, the
formation breaks up as each bird dips its bill into the water to scoop
up its meal. As the bird lifts its head, the water drains from its bill
leaving the fish which are then swallowed.

Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds, Fossils of this genus
have been found dating back 40 million years.
