Brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) can reach a length of 54 inches long, weigh 8 to 10 pounds, and have a wingspan between 6-1/2 feet and 7-1/2 feet. They have a long beak up to 13.5 inches in length with a hooked tip and a large throat pouch used for catching prey.
Brown pelicans can be identified by their chestnut-and-white necks; white heads with pale yellow crowns; brown-streaked back, rump, and tail; blackish-brown belly; grayish bill and pouch; and black legs and feet.
