Walla Walla Birding: American Dipper Nest and Young

American Dipper Nest and Young

Today up Mill Creek under a bridge I found an American Dipper nest with a pair of nesting American Dippers. After watching for awhile I saw the adults feeding the young. The young birds mouths can be seen as bright yellow open beaks. The nest is a round nest with a hole in it made from moss. A great find for the day.
