The national bird of St. Kitts and Nevis is the brown pelican, whose scientific name is Pelecanusoccidentalis. In its youth, the brown pelican is brown on the head, neck, and upper parts of the body, and mostly white below. As it matures, the majority of the body becomes dark brown while the upper part of the head turns white. During the post-nuptial molt the adult's neck turns white.  The neck and head are not extended during flight. Brown pelicans are sometimes solitary feeders, but may also be found in small flocks as they feed on schools of fish at the surface of the sea. They can be found throughout the West Indies and in the sub-tropical regions of the Americas.
