English: The Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), an endangered species, feeds on schooling fish near the ocean's surface by plunging beak-first from the air. The chemical DDT almost caused the demise of the brown pelican back in the 1960's. Pelicans exposed to DDT laid eggs with thin or non-existent shells, which broke during nesting, thus reducing the number of surviving offspring. Since DDT was banned in 1972, brown pelicans have made a remarkable recovery. There are permanent brown pelican nesting colonies on both Anacapa and Santa Barbara Islands.
Attribution information, such as the author's name, e-mail, website, or signature, that was once visible in the image itself has been moved into the image metadata and/or image description page. This makes the image easier to reuse and more language-neutral, and makes the text easier to process and search for. Commons discourages placing visible author information in images.
