The Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is the smallest member of the seven species of the pelican family. It is typically 106-137 cm (42"-54") in length.
It lives strictly on coasts from Washington and Virginia to the mouth of the Amazon River. Some immature birds may stray to inland freshwater lakes. After nesting, North American birds move in flocks further north along the coasts, returning to warmer waters for winter.
This bird is distinguished from the American White Pelican by its brown body and its habit of diving for fish from the air, as opposed to co-operative fishing from the surface. It eats mainly herring-like fish. Groups of Brown Pelicans often travel in single file, flying low over the water's surface.
The nest location varies from a simple scrape on the ground on an island to a bulky stick nest in a low tree. These birds nest in colonies, usually on islands.

ST. MARTIN: AV 20 euro, 2004, KM-XE15, pattern essai, mintage 50, Osprey with fish - Wildlife Protection, Proof.
The gold 20 Euro coins are hand struck and each contains 1/4 troy ounce of gold. They are 27mm in diameter. Each coin features an important native animal on one side and the territorial arms on the other. The revised mintage on the gold has been dropped to only 50 pieces of each type, making them an unbelievable rarity. Because each coin is individually hand struck, minor imperfections may be encountered.
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is a medium-large raptor which is a specialist fish-eater with a worldwide distribution. It occurs in all continents except Antarctica, but in South America only as a non-breeding migrant. It is often known by other colloquial names such as fishhawk, seahawk or Fish Eagle.
The Osprey is 52-60 centimetres (20.5-23.6 in) long with a 152-167 cm (5-5.5 ft) wingspan. It has mainly white underparts and head, apart from a dark mask through the eye, and fairly uniformly brown upperparts. Its short tail and long, narrow wings with four long "finger" feathers (and a shorter fifth) give it a very distinctive appearance.
Juvenile birds are readily identified by the buff fringes to the upperpart plumage, buff tone to the underparts, and streaked crown. By spring, wear on the upperparts makes barring on the underwings and flight feathers a better indicator of young birds. Adult males can be distinguished from females from their slimmer bodies and narrower wings. They also have a weaker or non-existent breast band than the female, and more uniformly pale underwing coverts. It is straightforward to sex a breeding pair, but harder with individual birds.
In flight, Ospreys have arched wings and drooping "hands", giving them a diagnostic gull-like appearance.
