'''Cool Facts:''' The American White Pelican is one of the largest birds in North America. The White Pelican does not dive for fish as the Brown Pelican does. Instead, it dips its head underwater to scoop up fish. Several pelicans may fish cooperatively, moving into a circle to concentrate fish, and then dipping their heads under simultaneously to catch fish. | '''Cool Facts:''' The American White Pelican is one of the largest birds in North America.
