Can Ospreys Swim?

Ospreys are not equipped for swimming. Unlike cormorants, which dive, or ducks that paddle, ospreys are built to dive from the air and capture fish that are close to the water's surface. Although they may occasionally touch the water, they quickly begin flapping their wings to ascend back into the air.
