Dalmatian pelican  ( Pelecanus crispus ) हवासील SSBS Agra Uttar Pradesh February 2019 Nikon Gears  This is the largest member of the  pelican  family, and perhaps the world's largest  freshwater bird , although rivaled in weight and length by the largest  swans . They are elegant  soaring  birds, with  wingspans  that rival that of the  great albatrosses , and their flocks fly in graceful synchrony. With a range spanning across much of  Central Eurasia , from the  Mediterranean  in the West to the  Taiwan Strait  in the East, and from the  Persian Gulf  in the South to  Siberia  in the North, it is a short-to-medium-distance  migrant  between breeding and overwintering areas.
