Is the pelican. His beak can hold More than this belly can. The pelicans are indeed famous for their beaks, which they fill with huge gulps of water, strain out the liquid, and eat the remaining fish. You can see that some adults have the odd bill protuberances shown by adults in the breeding season, while younger birds do not.
Pelicans are among the larger and heavier birds in the world, so they are very impressive in flight.
Breeding colonies of all species require protected islets away from predators. The Brown Pelican was heavily impacted by DDT in the 1950s and '60s, and breeding populations plummeted. Lobos disappeared in the early 1950s. They have made a great comeback throughout their range since DDT was banned, and today pelicans are common in Monterey Bay, often remaining year-round. Breeders may recolonize here in the future.
