Dipper Quest!


American Dipper
Originally uploaded by Bill Walker.
Equipped with rubber boots, better beemers, and a hot tip, we drove the bridges above Stevens Creek County Park in search of American Dippers. We watched them zooming up and down the creek in pairs, and finally managed to catch this bird foraging for a few minutes. It was pretty cooperative, but definitely didn't want to come into the sunlight. Sometimes flash is the only way to go.
