Australian Pelican along the Harbor Breakwater
Coastal waters and harbor entrances provide ideal habitats for large water birds. Positioned on a stone breakwater, an Australian pelican rests near a sheltered harbor with a tall lighthouse standing in the background. Stone breakwaters protect coastal harbor basins from heavy ocean waves, creating calm waters where pelicans can rest between fishing trips.
Amazing Facts About Australian Pelicans and Harbors
The Australian pelican boasts the longest bill of any living bird species, measuring up to eighteen inches in length. Beneath this massive bill sits an expandable throat pouch capable of holding up to three gallons of water and fish. Lighthouses positioned near harbor entrances emit powerful rotating beams of light to guide maritime vessels safely around dangerous breakwaters and shoals.
