Northern gannets! Every time the Spelling Bee won't let me put in GANNET, I just look at pictures of northern gannets for five minutes. Every picture of a gannet is incredible! They are huge white birds that dive face-first into the ocean at 100 kph and have kind of a bubble-wrap-like bone structure in their faces so they don't just explode on impact. It rules! Also this bird is in the freaking Odyssey!! Is the burrowing owl in the Odyssey? I don't THINK so. (Probably not?)
This is the top bird I was going to recommend. I love gannets, and they do really feel like a bird whose name should be in all caps. Maybe that's because I yell GANNET! every time I see one.
Also, US Poet Laureate Ada Limón put them in a poem ("Lies About Sea Creatures") , so bonus poetic merit.
