notes:
The American pelican may be either the brown pelican, Pelecanus occidentalis, which inhabits much of North America and the Caribbean (as suggested in the text) or the American white pelican, P. erythrorhynchos, which is an inland bird that winters on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The northern penguin is probably the great auk, Pinguinus impennis, a bird native to the North Atlantic from Canada to northern Europe. It was hunted to extinction, the last bird having been seen in 1852. notes The American pelican may be either the brown pelican, Pelecanus occidentalis, which inhabits much of North America and the Caribbean (as suggested in the text) or the American white pelican, P. erythrorhynchos, which is an inland bird that winters on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
