It’s something you’ve probably never thought about before, but evidently, owls can swim.
A video published on YouTube on Tuesday by Chicago-area photographer Steve Spitzer shows a great horned owl gliding through the waters of Lake Michigan, according to WGN-TV.
Spitzer said he was at Loyola Park Beach in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood when the owl was forced down into the water by a pair of peregrine falcons.
He told WGN-TV a bird rescue team was called to come out to the beach to help the owl, but the bird was able to fly away first.
