Hey I saw one of those the other day. They look like they have ballast flooded or something, when they swim, because their body is underwater.
That's because, unlik other birds, they don't have oil on their feathers to keep them bouyant. That's why they spread their wing. They have to dry off before they try to fly.You're welcome,Anonomiss
