An American Dipper

While out on a walk today, I saw a peculiar bird doing a little dance by the edge of the water and actually swimming down under water. Apparently, these birds are not all that uncommon, but it was my first time seeing one.

A bird that walks underneath the water, the slate-gray American Dipper is North America’s only truly aquatic songbird

I do not consider myself a birder or a bird person – but it is another reason to carry a camera with me and get outside. And I do have the Merlin app on my phone to identify birds by their calls and songs or by a photo, and I think that’s also interesting and fun sometimes.
