Sooty Shearwater
Charles Darwin in The Voyage of the Beagle said, "The Sooty Shearwater generally frequents the inland sounds of southern Chile in very large flocks: I do not think I ever saw so many birds of any other sort together, as I once saw of these behind the island of Chiloe. Hundreds of thousands flew in an irregular line for several hours in one direction. When part of the flock settled on the water the surface was blackened, and a noise proceeded from them as of human beings talking in the distance."
