Waiting for the rests Arrival..... American White Pelica or Pelecanus erythrorhynchos
The largest pelican in the US is the American White Pelican. They're BIG. The length of this bird is 62" or 157,5cm. Their wingspan is 108" or just over 274cm - that's 2 meters & 74cm. Their weight is 16.4 lb or 7,500g - or better put... 7,5 kgs
Talk about big bird. And compare this to the California Condor which is only 46" long & has a wingspan of 109" (that's only one inch wider than the White Pelican), but they do have the weight on their side. A California Condor weighs 23 lb or 10,5 kg
