Pelicans/Brown Pelican : Brown Pelicans are along almost all major coastlines and known the world over. They are actually still on the endangered species list where they were once endangered from the effects of DDT.

They have made a great recovery and hopefully will be taken off the list.

Skimmers/Black Skimmers/Birds : Black Skimmers are a bird that have a longer bottom jaw than the top allowing it to "skim" the surface of the water for its food. It's a really neat bird to watch as it flies in large groups close to the surface of the water.
