---My Introduction---
- Hi, I'm Daniel5127. Occasionally, I consider myself as Mathematician because I like to study the Mathematics such as Calculus. I first discovered the Wikipedia in June 2005. As a Wikipedian, I'm a 20 year old boy (teenager) as College student, and live in Los Angeles, California, America. I will help you with anything if you don't know how to use Wikipedia, you don't understand the way of using in Wikipedia, or have any problems with editing. I've been a Wikipedian since March 3, 2006. So, I'm glad to see you. Ahh, my hobby is to study Science, because I want to be scientist in the future. I'm quite proud of being chinese Wikipedian. I'm also interested in Astrology, something that tells about fortune of the day. The astrology book is called The New Astrology. This book is dedicated to everyone.
The American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) is a large aquatic soaring bird from the order Pelecaniformes. It breeds in interior North America, moving south and to the coasts, as far as Costa Rica, in winter. Along with the trumpeter swan, it is one of the longest birds native to North America, with an overall length of about 50 to 70 inches (130 to 180 cm). The beak measures 11.3 to 15.2 inches (290 to 390 mm) in males and 10.3 to 14.2 inches (260 to 360 mm) in females, while its wingspan is around 95 to 120 inches (240 to 300 cm). The American white pelican does not dive for its food as some other pelican species do, instead catching its prey while swimming. Each bird eats more than 4 pounds (1.8 kg) of food a day, predominantly fish, which ranges from the size of minnows to 3.5-pound (1.6 kg) pickerels. This adult American white pelican in non-breeding plumage was photographed at Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds in San Rafael, California.Photograph credit: Frank Schulenburg
