American Dipper ‘fishes’ the edge of the stream. I watched to see if he would brave the rapids.
Find out more about Dippers, my favorite birds, who look like songbirds but dive into the most intense and cold currents of mountain streams. We even see them swimming when there’s ice and snow. Though it’s summer, the stream in this photo is still cold enough to make you gasp if you jump in.

About sherijkennedyriverside
Left brain, right brain, I can't decide. After many years of successful visual arts pursuits, I'm working on my other creative inclinations. Reaching inward and venturing outward as the Snoqualmie River flows onward past my doorstep and life runs freely through my being, I set pen to page to share what I perceive.
Sheri J. Kennedy grew up mostly a city-girl coasthopping from Seattle to rural Pennsylvania, Miami and back to Seattle. She currently resides on the banks of the Snoqualmie River in the scenic Cascade Mountain foothills town of North Bend, Washington USA. Her heart has found its home.
Ain’t nature grand…what amazing birds….thankyou
Thanks for enjoying it!
These small birds are great, and you are showing how it is.
Does Norway have a similar bird in the mountains?
