Submarine Flyers and the Birds of the Deep
A descriptive survey of oceanic life where fishes and sea birds act like submarines. Flying fish and gurnards leap from water using enlarged fins as wings, penguins swim with finlike wings, and the ouzel dives and glides underwater to forage. The piece contrasts land and sea forms and notes human encounters with these remarkable marine fliers.
