A pelican is any of several very large water birds with a distinctive pouch under the beak belonging to the bird family Pelecanidae. 

Pelicans have all four toes webbed. Modern pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica. They are birds of inland and coastal waters and are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands, and inland South America.

This video was filmed on South Padre Island, a large barrier island along the Texas Gulf coast.
