Monday's Riddle: A Fowl Lament...

Hello, Riddlers! Can you guess our theme this week? They look like magical creatures and sing a haunted tune. ; ) ~ F

As dusk settles on a northern lake, hear the cries of fowl heart break. Ruby-eyed sailors, paired to match, dive in deep for the evening catch. Carrying on, they swim away, a crazy call made at the end of the day. 

What am I referring to? Stop by Wednesday for the answer

I gave you a clue!

    Well, I'm afraid I don't know my birds very well. A lark?

    I'm going with the loon. I know they have a mournful cry, however I don't know if their eyes are red.

    At first I was thinking of a raven or crow, but seeing as these are lake birds it seems like I'll go with others guess of a loon.

    I was going to say hawks, but their eyes aren't ruby colored. So I'm going with the group and saying it's loons.

    I'm not sure a bird would be described as a fowl, so maybe a duck, Mallard or Guineafowl? Not really sure.

    Also a loon. A cormorant would be cool, but I think it is a loon.

    Are you doing a Canadian theme, eh? It does seem like the loon, of which I'm most familiar with. Yes, thank you for such a fowl post!

    I am not sure either, but a loon makes sense (to my sometimes feathered brain, anyway! lol). Good riddle!

    A loon? I've heard their call is haunting, though I've never heard one myself.
