On a recent stay in the U.S. Virgin Islands we stayed in an AirBnB condo overlooking Water Bay on the NE side of the island. Looking down on the bay from our place a squad of about 30 Brown Pelicans located a school of fish just outside of the colorful Margaritaville Vacation Club. The pelicans constantly circled above, dove down into the water, and then flew back up for another try. If you look carefully at this iPhone pic you can see a couple of them diving straight down and several splashes where the pelicans just dove in.
I got out my big Canon R7 and took oh, about a thousand shots of individual pelicans diving in but those will have to wait until I can get through them.
