I can't believe someone from Minnesota doesn't know that divers (or loons as they are known on the west side of the Atlantic) are expert underwater swimmers and migratory fliers too.

What do you think loons do down there - play underwater hockey?

But auks and shearwaters do swim underwater using their wings, and do fly too.

The Common Murre is particulary adept at flying in air and underwater. http://personal.southern.edu/...hurch/website1/chapter4.html It's an awesome bird!
