Trial... and Error!

From Hancock County Naturlalists

About 1 second after this photo was taken this morning, 2 things were learned:

1. Owlet learned he could not fly!
2. 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!
