The American White Pelican is a large waterbird native to North America. It has a distinctive white body, a long neck, and a large bill with a characteristic orange pouch. These pelicans are often found in freshwater lakes, rivers, and marshes, where they feed primarily on fish. During the breeding season, they nest in colonies on islands or remote shorelines. The American White Pelican is known for its unique feeding technique, where it uses cooperative hunting to herd fish into shallow waters. This species migrates south for the winter, traveling to warmer regions in the southern United States and Mexico.
