VIDEO: A RARE SIGHT OF AN OWL SWIMMING...

Hikers walking through a canyon in Lake Powell between Arizona and Utah stumbled upon a rare sight. A young great horned owl was busy swimming, it seems that it is still young due to what seems like some nestling feathers.

Great horned owls often roost on cliff ledges, so it is possible the young owl fell into the water from its nest. Seeing an owl sim is unusual and they have no way to defend themselves while in the water. Owls are unable to take flight while swimming, so they must leave the water and dry their feathers before flying.
