It's strange. there are things like lizards that thrive in a few niches, but birds... so many. They have everything from "we are leigon" to "I only eat a specific seed." Like, ring species are a thing. how specific does your range have to be that it kind of breaks binomial nomenclature?
"Unlike most birds, which have hollow, lightweight bones for flight, dippers have dense, solid bones that act as a natural diving belt, allowing them to overcome buoyancy and remain submerged."
You bet it is. I've been spear fishing a bunch of times when I see a big dark fish, 40tf underwater, and it turns out to be a fucking cormorant up close...
Considering how little we know about the ocean, this could be true. Here is one video talking about how underwater critters in a fantasy realm should be much more 'interesting' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2weze6uY30

I was literally thinking about this bird early this morning, but I couldn't remember its name

The really bizarre thing about that is that it lives so far north the air can be -30C. "Hey, it's freezing. Better take a bath to warm up!"

The uninitiated observers being the larvae?

It's always something new with these motherfuckers.

I am not sure what this bird does underwater but I bet fish are at least as afraid of the daemon called Alcedo atthis.

Is there finally a new season? I binge watched this until my SodaStream finally stopped working.

Yes, but it’s much darker

With that air in its plumage and very low body weight of a bird, how does it stay under water?

Thankfully chat GPT is there to write a comment about it.

Light enough to fly, heavy enough to sink.

Fr, how does that even work?
