diving birds
Submersible feathered fishers
Diving birds are waterfowl and seabirds that pursue prey underwater, propelling themselves with feet, wings, or both.
The category includes loons, grebes, cormorants, puffins, and penguins.
Some ducks also dive rather than dabble at the surface.
We watched the diving birds disappear beneath the waves and resurface yards away.
