    The white pelican is one of the most successful fish-eating birds due to its communal hunting behavior. Groups of up to two dozen white pelicans gather offshore, beating the water with their wings to drive fish into a curved formation. When the water is shallow enough, the birds dip their bills individually to scoop up fish, which are then swallowed. Pelicans are an ancient species, with fossil records dating back over 40 million years.
