The dipper is the most aquatic of song birds. It hunts for comestibles by dipping its head into the waters of a creek or lakeshore while wading.
Here are three views of a dipper seen on the lakeshore this afternoon.
In the third picture, its splashdown on the Lake raises both a curtain and shards of water. This picture is discussed in the next posting where it is shown that the dipper is planing.
The Kootenay Lake website offers other views of local dippers.
