From Hancock County Naturlalists
About 1 second after this photo was taken this morning, 2 things were learned:
Owlet learned he could not fly!
I learned Owlets can swim!
Its flight lasted about 5 feet and SPLASH...right in the middle of the river! It just kind of was a blob in the water. I am thinking to myself...OH NO am going to have to go on a rescue mission! After a few seconds it started using its wings to paddle itself through the water. However, instead of going to the opposite bank it came back to where it took off, but a little more wet!
And they surely do brighten up my day.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all
This is the way.
Also, amazing photo!
