Watching birds dive into the water is always so interesting to witness. I am not sure what they are going after, maybe water? Maybe a small fish? Well whatever they are doing, they really like skimming the water and sometimes hitting it hard enough to make ripples.

These birds show up in flocks and spend time by the water together.

Maybe its a sport to them, to fly around together and swim the water.. Maybe its a version of bird chicken.. lol

These birds seem to be around just during the spring and summer. Maybe they go back to warmer climates during the winter.

But they seem to come back every year, and just have a blast on the water.

Above we can see one hitting the water, amazing they do not get stuck in the water from doing that.

Quickly it leaves and gets back into the air.

It is hard to tell if it got anything, they are so small. To be able to tell if they caught something would be pretty hard to see.

Not sure exactly what bird they are, maybe swallows.
