An unmistakable bird of coastal waters, the Brown Pelican often flies low over the waves in single file, flapping and gliding in unison. Their feeding behavior is spectacular, as they plunge headlong into the water in pursuit of fish. The current abundance of this species in the United States represents a success story for conservationists, as the Brown Pelican was seriously endangered as recently as the early 1970s. Ending the use of DDT and other persistent pesticides allowed for the Brown Pelican's resurgence.
