                    Figure 6-19 • Ventrodorsal views of the shoulder regions of three water birds—loon (A), cormorant (B), and pelican (C)—showing
                    sometimes large and sometimes small differences in skeletal anatomy. In particular, note how the clavicles of the cormorant and loon arch
                    far forward compared with that of the pelican.
