At 7:46 one swam up N channel & dove & some vege. in his mouth, at 7:48 another repeated the performance but w/o food. 7:50 one appears at path to N shore in channel, swims up & dives where the other 2 did. In next 5 min., 4 others repeat the act. They may be diving to get under an kind of brushfall obstruction blocking the channel or else to enter a burrow on the N shore or both.
