Description
Brown Pelican Dive Bombing for Fish. The duet dive.
The brown pelican, dives on fish (usually a type of herring called menhaden) from above and snares them in its bill. Pelicans do not store fish in their pouch, but simply use it to catch them and then tip it back to drain out water and swallow the fish immediately.
