The pelican dives
Deep and direct
Eyes open wide
Again and again
It is a game:
We do not eat to live
Or live to eat
But dive deep
To dive deep
And come back
Satisfied.
Hunger drives.

I love to watch them do their dives and more often than not they will come up with a fish.
Around here we have the various breeds of herons. My friend was a white heron. You might remember him standing on the bridge rail waiting for his dive:
