The animal on the cover of

Windows Server 2003 in a Nutshell is
an American white pelican (

Pelecanus erythrorhynchos ). It inhabits the
coastal regions, freshwater marshes, lakes, and rivers of North
America, and winters in the Gulf States of the southern United States
and Mexico.

Sometimes confused with the whooping crane, the American white
pelican is a huge white bird with black primary and outer secondary
feathers, sporting a wingspan of over 9 feet and an average weight of
16 pounds. Unlike the brown pelican, which plunge-dives into water
from the air, the white pelican feeds while swimming, ingesting fish
and straining out frogs, salamanders, and aquatic invertebrates from
its pouch.

White pelicans prefer to nest on low, bare islands, sandbars, or
remote peninsulas, especially on freshwater lakes. Egg laying begins
in mid-May in the colonies, and both parents incubate a brood of two
chalky-white eggs, which hatch about a month later. The parents
incubate the eggs with their feet because they don't have a brood
patch of bare skin on the belly. The chicks are helpless when they
hatch and eat by scooping digested food out of the adult's pouch. As
the chicks mature, they join a pod and feed in large groups until they
are ready to fly, at approximately 10 weeks.

American white pelicans are one of the most social of the avian
species: the flocks forage cooperatively, by encircling fish or
driving them into shallows where they are more easily caught. Colonies
of a hundred or more birds are often seen nesting, roosting, foraging,
and sunbathing together.

In medieval heraldry, the pelican is a symbol representing
maternal protectiveness and piety.
