As per his secret contract with the NSA, when in avian disguise and engaged in fowl behavior on their behalf, his official anti-super-hero [or is it super-antihero?] name is, spycraft-appropriately, "Crypto Knight."

[Mr. Kent originally wanted to go by the storkish moniker of "Red Heron", but his handlers didn't like the connotations of fecklessness produced by the sound of that in the ear. "There's just something fishy about the sound of that one," one was overheard saying.]

A yellow-billed stork at Pete's Pond in Botswana ducks as dozens of cattle egrets take off. Seen on National Geographic's WildCam Africa.
Cattle egrets happen.

Last fiddled with by only_human on 2013-09-05 at 07:54 Reason: fussed with punchline. Grammar thread -- so added phrase origin link for "for the birds."
