  • A brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) in nonbreeding plumage hunts by diving head-first into the water of the Pacific Ocean in Olympic National Park near La Push, Washington. Pelicans feed mainly on fish they find at or near the surface. They can dive from heights of 50 feet (15 meters) or more, filling their throat pouches once they hit the water. They then strain out the water and swallow any food that was caught.

  • A Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) dives for food into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Brown Pelicans hunt in a unique way. They fly over bodies of water, spotting fish from as far as 50 feet (15 meters) away. Once they spot a fish, they dive, plunging into the water head first and scooping up the fish and the water around it in its large pouch. It quickly strains the water from the side of its bill and swallows the fish.
