I don't know whether anyone else answered Julian's question.  Yes, the pelican plunged into the water repeatedly to feed, most of the time coming up with a tasty snack.  It would then swim around a while, flex its wings, then take off for another fishing expedition.  After 30 minutes or so of feeding it flew to its favorite piling where it slept for a while.

Also of interest at the same spot were two peregrine falcons, one perched on top of the tallest grain elevator, then two of them chasing each other and around with a scolding crow.

Do they plunge into the water to grab fish, as they do in coastal areas?  How do they survive the trip here?  Carp?
