Pelican Genera

Pelican Genera is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers the genus of the pelicans, large water birds with a long bill and a stretchable throat pouch used to scoop fish from the water. An entry belongs here when its own cited article describes a genus of pelicans. It excludes the other water bird genera, such as the flamingos, waders, gulls and terns, which have their own groups. The group is a home for the pelican genus and for any other pelican genus that is later described or minted, and it lets a reader find the birds known for fishing with a pouched bill.
