We didn't know they could do this! Here's a video of a bald eagle swimming on the Kennebec River right here in Maine!

From the Road Trip New England channel on YouTube, this video uploaded in 2014 shows a bald eagle out for a swim on the Kennebec River in Richmond, Maine.

To the untrained eye, it might look like the eagle hurt its wing and can't swim, but this eagle is perfectly healthy... he's just out for a swim!

Who knew freedom could swim?
