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.

Great shooting Bubba! Did he get what he was after?
Unsure! I was so thrilled to get this action sequence I had to "chimp" all my captures to verify they were all sharp. But I am guessing he did OK.

Good shooting. You stayed right on the bird the whole way down. Not easy to do.
