They really capture the Dipper ethos.<br />I remember my first Dipper. I had no idea such a bird existed, and was totally blown away to see this weird slate blue robin thing walking around on the bottom of a stream up near Crater Lake in Oregon. <br />Fantastic bird.

Part of the joy of birding for me is learning something new.<br /><br />I was quite happy also with these photos, As typical for dippers, it seems, it was an overcast day with indirect light in the river ravine.

We had a few Dipper's hanging out right next to our camp. I was surprised at how loud they called and how they chased each other. In the past, I had only seen them solitary and casually feeding in the river. Nice post Greg! A very interesting bird indeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333731452974780237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-84289020006379531382011-12-11T06:34:24.994-07:002011-12-11T06:34:24.994-07:00The American Dipper is such a unique bird.
