Commitment principle
Lessons from Pied Kingfisher
Hover, then dive.
Hover-Then-Dive Fishing
Core lesson
A daring move works when the aim has already been held steady.
Biological basis
Pied Kingfishers hover over water before plunging headfirst to catch fish. Their hovering allows them to aim carefully before committing to the dive.
