American white pelican — size comparison — facts and sources
The American white pelican uses large lakes, rivers, wetlands and sheltered coasts. It often fishes cooperatively, forming semicircles to drive fish into shallows.
It gathers prey at or just below the surface. Amphibians and crustaceans supplement fish. Unlike brown pelicans, it usually does not plunge-dive from the air.
