This spritely little
bird, clad in brown-black with a white bib, is a lover of
dancing waters. We find it on the hurrying stream that rushes recklessly
from the hills. The spot that pleases the Dipper best is the waterfall.
Here it
plays in and out of the current, gathers water grubs, etc., and in the
springtime
builds its nest. The nest, a well-made domed structure of moss, grass
and so
on, is usually under a ledge of the rocks, often where its moss is kept
green
by spray
from the fall.
