The pelican is on the dam, not wetting its wings.
Ancient descriptions date back to the Book of Songs. Commentaries call it a bird of the surging waters. Kong Yingda cited Guo Pu, describing it as a massive bird like an osprey with a beak over a foot long and a pouch that holds several liters. In small marshes, they gather to scoop out water until their pouches are full.
