Isaac and I went on an early morning drive and ended up along a creek known to have Dippers. He soon spotted one flying up and down the creek carrying food. With a bit of exploring, we soon found the nest site on a steep cliff ledge. Both Mom and Dad were bringing food to young ones inside the home made almost entirely of moss. In the close up photo you can see the meal of insect larvae/nymphs. Possibly Caddis Fly nymphs? A very special encounter with a very special kind of bird!
