It feeds while swimming, dipping its bill into the water to catch fish in its pouch. White Pelicans are found inland, at lakes and marshes. (The one you see at the ocean is the Brown Pelican.) Pelicans fly together, high up, in a ‘V’ formation. They can glide for long distances, using slow, powerful flapping of their wings.
