When we were up in Lyons, Nature Walks – Hummingbirds of Lyons not only did we see the Rufous Hummingbirds, but we saw an American Dipper as well. American Dippers are birds that like to swim, or more they like to dip into the icy cold and turbulent waters, like streams or rivers in the mountainous areas that comes from snow runoff.
They are camouflaged, so they really blend in with the rocks. They are easy to miss unless you know what to look for. This guy was having so much fun just playing around and dipping in the water.



It’s perfectly OK to take some dips into the waters of life. Who knows, you just might like it too. 🙂

Thank you. I wish I had more, but you get what you get, especially when animals are involved. He went away after and I couldn’t get any more shots of him. 🙂
