It is found on the Atlantic Coast from [[New Jersey]] to the mouth of the [[Amazon River]], and along the [[Pacific coast|Pacific Coast]] from [[British Columbia]] to Peru, including the [[Galapagos Islands]]. The [[nominate subspecies]] in its [[Glossary of bird terms#breeding plumage|breeding plumage]] has a white head with a yellowish wash on the crown. The [[nape]] and neck are dark maroon–brown. The upper sides of the neck have white lines along the base of the [[gular pouch]], and the lower fore neck has a pale yellowish patch. The male and female are similar, but the female is slightly smaller. The nonbreeding adult has a white head and neck. The pink skin around the eyes becomes dull and gray in the nonbreeding season. It lacks any red hue, and the pouch is strongly olivaceous ochre-tinged and the legs are olivaceous gray to blackish-gray.
The brown pelican mainly feeds on fish, but occasionally eats [[amphibian]]s, [[crustacean]]s, and the [[Bird egg|eggs]] and nestlings of birds. It nests in [[Colony (biology)|colonies]] in secluded areas, often on islands, vegetated land among sand dunes, thickets of shrubs and trees, and [[Mangrove swamp|mangroves]]. Females lay two or three oval, chalky white eggs. [[Incubation period|Incubation]] takes 28 to 30 days with both sexes sharing duties. The newly hatched chicks are pink, turning gray or black within 4 to 14 days. About 63 days are needed for chicks to [[fledge]]. Six to 9 weeks after hatching, the juveniles leave the nest, and gather into small groups known as pods.
