Good news for the brown pelican(Pelec occidentalis)?

The Wandering Albatross has the largest wingspan of any bird with a wingspan between 8.2-11.5 feet (as much as 12 feet; some reports of as large as 17 feet) so in terms of wingspan I would say that the Wandering Albatross is the largest. I don't know in terms of m which sea bird weighs the most, but I would say that 35 pounds with a 12 foot plus wingspan, with a 4 foot body length, and weighing upwards of 35 pounds as juveniles is one heck of a big bird.
