Some water birds like cormorants never seem to fly over land. They'll hug the shoreline but never venture more than a dozen yards in. They must view land the way we view water. Exceptional crossing territory.

Going for spear mouth over baggage space Anhinga might be even better (snakebird). Slytherin of birds. Pelicans are kinda hufflepuffy

and a few cormorants had discovered this and they were just diving and eating incessantly just gorging themselves

another great site is cannon beach oregon waterbirds in general seem to make for way better bird watching than land because they're just so visible and densely clustered and generally larger seagulls are like peanuts, best watching areas are like mixed nuts with <50% peanuts

best I’ve seen is florida, it’s like that but with great egrets instead of seagulls as the peanuts

egrets are better peanuts to look at, but seagulls do more fun things I think, esp. when alone. In groups, they're idiots.
