American White Pelican Pelecanus erythrorhynchos American White Pelicans are very social birds When it is time to feed they often team up to catch fish The pelicans beat their wings and poke their large bills into the water to steer a school of fish to shore Then they gobble them up 9
Osprey Pandion haliaetus Ospreys mostly eat fish and they are very good at catching them They fly high above lakes and rivers until they spot a fish then suddenly drop to the water with their talons stretched out in front of them 10
Ospreys can wrap their talons around both sides of a fish for a tight grip Spiky areas on the underside of their toes also help them hold onto their catch 11
