Caught this pelican just before it hit the water. Not sure how many shots I took before I finally got one that was timed right, but with enough perseverance I finally managed

I have seen cormorants do this from about fifty feet up, entering the water with a resounding WHACK They must have amazingly strong bone structures, especially their skulls
