I agree!

It looks as if he hit the pelican either with the gear or the prop.

A bird as big as a pelican at that speed would go through to the main
spar or take away a stabilizer. A canopy hit would almost certainly be
instantly fatal, as would be a stabilizer hit.

He was luck that the LH gear hit the pelican first! There were still
heave enough fragments to make a very big hole in the LH stab.

Had the whole bird hit the stab, it probably have taken it off.
