American Dipper American Dipper – Water Ouzel

Water Ouzel

Roaring mountain creeks and lightning-quick western streams are the homes of a nondescript bird called the American Dipper [aka the Water Ouzel].

It’s a treat to catch sight of one hunting a streamside watery realm for aquatic insects and larvae.

I caught this Ouzel in a pose between its forays to an Idaho river for water bugs.
