Australian Pelican

Other species include the great white pelican (P. onocrotalus ) of western Eurasia, the grey pelican (P. philippensis ) of eastern Eurasia (illustration), the pink pelican (P. rufescens ) of tropical North Africa, the Australian pelican (P. conspicillatus ) of Australia, and the white pelican (P. erythrorhynchos) of North America. The grey pelican occasionally migrates to Japan. ...
