Six species of Pelecaniformes occur or have occurred in Nevada. Two, White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) and Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) are common, have been well noted in the literature and will not be discussed here. Of the remaining four, Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis), Blue-footed Booby (Sula nebouxii), Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster), and Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) only the Brown Pelican and Magnificent Frigatebird appear in the literature on Nevada birds. The occurrence of the Blue-footed Booby and Brown Booby in Nevada has been discovered only recently, their occurrence being briefly noted in American Birds (Monson 1972a).
