beach-bird

• Nor the beach-bird seaward flying with his slant wing to the sun. —  The Complete Works of Whittier
• The beach-bird on its pearly verge —  The Complete Poetical Works of James Russell Lowell
• Debby vaguely felt this charm, and, yielding to it, splashed and sang like any beach-bird, while Aunt Pen bobbed placidly up and down in a retired corner, and Mr. Leavenworth swam to and fro, expressing his firm belief in mermaids, sirens, and the rest of the aquatic sisterhood, whose warbling no manly ear can resist. —  The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 12, No. 70, August, 1863
