Brown pelican diving into the blue water of Florida.

Brown pelican (Pelicanus occidentalis) diving into the blue ocean of the Gulf of Mexico at Fort DeSoto State Park in St. Petersburg, Florida. The brown pelican is a fish eater, often diving from 50 to 100 feet above the water. In this dramatic dive, it folds its wings to its side, and speeds like a dart into the water to capture fish in its pouch.
