North American Pelicans
From the Series Nature Watch
With short, stubby legs, long narrow wings, and large throat pouches, North American pelicans are unique and easily recognizable birds. Found throughout the northwest, pelicans can often be seen diving towards the water or paddling around looking for fish in large groups. Endangered over the past several decades, pelicans are beginning to thrive once more thanks to nesting refuges and protection from hunting.

The Horn Book Guide
“These three books [North American Pelicans, Penguins, Bald Eagles] in the series will be a useful addition to the reference section in the children’s library. Crisp, well-captioned color photos accompany the text, which is suitable for middle-grade readers.”
