They are often seen flying over the bay waters, and some times fly in V-formation with others of their species. The Brown Pelican was also once threated with extinction by DDT. They can usually be seen during the summer and fall months.\"<ref>Bulger, Suzie. \"The Beginners Guide to Birding at the Arcata Marsh\" FOAM 1996</ref>\n\n== Notes ==\n\n<references />\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n}}\n\n[[Category:Birds]]"}
