Pelicans hunt food like Kamikaze pilots, but somehow they seem to survive without breaking bones and with their huge wing spans intact.

This series of images begin with cruising high above the water in search of fish, the near stall before diving, the dive, impact, the capture, and finally flying away with what appears to be a smug, satisfied look, in search of their next victim.
