The Brown Pelican is an elegant bird with an over-sized bill and large body. The national bird feeds by "plunge-diving" from as high as 65 feet, using the force of the impact to stun fish before scooping them into its bill. When young, the Brown Pelican is brown on the head, neck, and upper torso of the body, while white below. As it matures, the body becomes a dark brown while the head turns white.
