American Dipper (Cinclus mexicanus) - 03Jun2021

All five species of Dipper in the genus Cinclus are awesome birds!  The American Dipper is a semi-aquatic bird of the American West and parts of Central America.  They can dive underwater and swim, looking for invertebrates and other morsels where other birds cannot go.  My below photos are from Oregon where I ran into a family of dipper chicks being fed by a parent.
