The bird featured on the cover of Web Client Programming with Perl is a white pelican.
White pelicans are among the world's largest birds.
But those who have witnessed pelicans circling in flight at dizzying heights or gliding through water in pursuit of a catfish can attest to their grace in motion. Usual weight is 10-17 pounds but can reach 30 pounds. The tips of the wings are black. The large pouched bill is orange or salmon-colored. Feet are totipalmate, which means that all four toes, including the back one, are united by a Web of skin.
