Note that the video was turned into a promotion video for GoPro. We're not posting it because of that and we're not getting anyfrom from GoPro or anyone else for this. We just love pelicans!

I'll admit I'm not 100% happy with the idea of strapping a camera to the bird, but I don't know the whole story. the camera is probably very light, and not really in the pelican's field of vision much since its eyes are more on the sides of its head.
