[cobirds] Pelican behavior

This evening just before the storm hit around 6pm, there was a group of 7 pelicans that were doing a behavior I hadn't seen before.  They were swimming in formation in a line with two -abreast and they would all put their bills in the water at the same time, first on one side, then on the other.  Then they would stop and circle up and put their bills in the middle of the group into the water.  It looked a little like they were maybe herding fish??  Has anyone seen something similar?
