This winter, just as in the past several winters, I have observed 1-2 American Dippers from my friend's property just east of Canon City along the Arkansas River. Last winter I posted that I saw the dippers with nesting material and I uploaded a photo of one with nesting material in it's mouth. They appeared to be taking the material to a dam on the river but in a location that made confirmation impossible and I never saw evidence of feeding nestlings or of fledglings. Today I watched an American Dipper pulling vegetation from the river bank then flying to a gate on that dam. I photographed dippers with nesting material in their mouths, feeding together, and flying to the apparent nest location. I will upload those photos to my BirdsAndNature <http://BirdsAndNature.blogspot.com> blog after I mail this. I also got some video clips but as I have noted before it takes a bunch of time to do them since my camcorder uses mini-dv's so I have to first transfer the video to my computer then edit it, then upload to youtube then put it on my blog (what a pain).
