1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Pelicans
   are frequently met with at the waters of Merom and the Sea of
   Galilee. The pelican is ranked among unclean birds (Lev. 11:18;
   Deut. 14:17). It is of an enormous size, being about 6 feet
   long, with wings stretching out over 12 feet. The Hebrew name
   (kaath, i.e., "vomiter") of this bird is incorrectly rendered
   "cormorant" in the Authorized Version of Isa. 34:11 and Zeph.
   2:14, but correctly in the Revised Version. It receives its
   Hebrew name from its habit of storing in its pouch large
   quantities of fish, which it disgorges when it feeds its young.
   Two species are found on the Syrian coast, the Pelicanus
   onocrotalus, or white pelican, and the Pelicanus crispus, or
   Dalmatian pelican.
