Summer Swimming Owls

     It's summer time and that means lots of fun time at the pool! Not only do we love just playing in the water, but many people, yours truly included, love swimming. Owls, on the other hand - not so much. Actually, it's probably not so much that they don't like it, but that it's so much work for them as their feathers are less water resistant than many other birds. Therefore, they save this activity for times of emergencies only.  

How do owls swim? Well, by doing the breaststroke, of course! Just watch this video clip of a Great Horned Owl swimming after he was forced down by a couple of peregrine falcons. He reportedly does eventually reach the shore, and after waiting some time to dry off, flew away. So we are all good.
