So far three responders have answered that they have seen the birds land on water. One said that it floated for 2 or 3 minutes and another said they were offshore Lake Erie and another person wrote that one landed on a small pond for a few seconds. I guess this is not a common thing to see but not extremely rare either. Thanks David Smith.
