Gannets! They hover above the water, waiting, and then dive bomb into the water like the badass motherfuckers that they are and "fly" underneath as a flock to get all the fishies. Here, look for yourself:

Fuckin punk rock. Gannets rule.

Bonus: they're related to boobies (https://www.britannica.com/animal/gannet). Heh.

Was looking up the phrase "catbird seat" the other day and ended up in a Grey Catbird research spiral.

The hits:

It meows like a cat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FckCjy_j1vQ

It's a prolific mimic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRgvpjcSNcM

Side note: You should run a bird of the year(s) bracket for everyone. My vote is going to the Kea, but they're all winners!
