Pelecanus occidentalis Brown Pelican Braunpelikan, Meerespelikan While the Brown Pelican drains the water from its bill after a dive, gulls often try to steal the fish right out of its pouch. They sometimes even perch on the pelican's head or back and reach in. The pelican itself, however, is not above stealing fish from other seabirds, either. It also follows fishing boats and hangs around piers for handouts. Yaquina Head, Newport, Oregon, USA |
