Have You Ever Seen An Owl Swimming?

I certainly haven't...until NOW.

Sweet merciful crap, my mind is blown. He looks so comfortable in the water, that is textbook breast-stroke form! Why is this video only eight seconds long? The description says it was forced into the lake by two falcons, but I want to know if he glided in like a seaplane or just splashed like doing a cannonball or what. How did it start swimming, how did it finally get out? Did it just shake off like a dog then fly away? Were the wings too wet and heavy to take off, so it just walked around for a while? I NEED MORE.
