Gannets
A few years back a friend and I were mackeral fishing off Rockport MA. and we had a huge school of macks just under the surface and we were filling the little tin boat we were in when all of a sudden you would have thought someone dropped a cinder block from a plane and another and another --- It was aflock of gannets diving on the macks. Scared the whoopy pies right out of us . But what a sight. they would just fold up the wings and drop like a rock. I bet if they missed the water they would have gone thru the bottom of the boat.
