People may not know of the brown pelican's large wingspan of six and a half to seven feet. They can hover in the air with their large wings. White pelicans have even larger wingspans of nine to nine and a half feet, as large as the California condor.

The Pacific branch/race of the brown pelicans are a little bigger than the Atlantic branch. Those pictured below showing off their wingspans are of the Atlantic branch.
