        Yeah, I read that. Hope he was able to dry and fluff quickly before getting too cold. I really doubt that swimming is something they would choose to do unless to save their life.

        Honestly, I admire falcons also. They're pretty awesome birds too, but I was really rootin for the owl, especially since a falcon just killed one of my favorite chickens here a couple of weeks ago. I heard my whole flock running and making all kinds of panic noises and go to check it out and there he it is ... sitting on one of my chickens.

    Awesome post. I am a big fan of birds of prey and owls in particular. He swims very well. He does not look like he is struggling much and even seems to be enjoyin the swim!

      I know!!

      When I saw him swimming, I was completely awed! I've always liked owls myself, but hadn't a clue that they could swim!

          Apparently it's not the done thing in the owl parliament.

    All animals can swim. Doesn't mean that they enjoy the experience.

    No - an owl never swims unless it's in trouble. If someone sees one swimming, the correct approach is to help the little dude out and get him out of the water.
