American White Pelican
An american white pelican chick is one of the largest chicks by far.
These birds are naturally very large in size. In spite of this fact they can sit high on the water because their bones are full of air and the air sacs in their body are large. They have a large beak and stretchable skin, which make it easier for them to catch food in the water.

American White Pelican -
chick, chicks
These wonderful birds nest on small isolated coastal islands. There they are safe from predators such as raccoons and coyotes. When feeding, these birds soar in the air looking for fish near the surface of the water. When they spot a fish, they dive, plunging 30 to 60 feet bill-first into the water.
