Yesterday afternoon in my back yard canal, I was entertained by a male Brown Pelican executing his feeding dive.

In this photo sequence, he spots his prey from altitude, does a hard right diving turn, controls his dive speed with his legs, feet and wings, then crashes into the water for his dinner.

Just prior to water entry, he quickly extends his neck but that shot was too blurry to include here.

I hope you enjoy viewing these.

Thanks Blair. Thanks Larry. Great afternoon lighting and cooperative subjects at reasonably close range. All I did was acquire, focus, track and shoot.

That’s all? That’s quite bit for a sequence like that. Good work.
