Order STEGANOPODES. Totipalmate Birds. 
Fish eating birds, mostly marine in distribution, but a few 
species frequent fresh waters. The fish eaten are usually small, 
but some are young fish that would be of economic importance 
full grown. The Cormorants usually pursue their prey under 
water, but the Pelecans scoop theirs up from the surface or plunge 
down on them from the air. Most species of this order are social 
in habit, particularly in the breeding season.
