  A man who is a caretaker at an estate in Trenton, Maine looked out over the water and say this.  What he saw was a turkey swimming from a small island, some distance offshore, to the mainland.  He couldn't believe his eyes.
  A biologist with the Maine Department of Wildlife and Fisheries confirms the fact that the birds can swim.  What is needed now is the reason the bird flies out to the island and swims back.  Nobody can figure that out!
