90: American Dipper - Bird that Walks Under Water
from Birds of a Feather Talk Together · host John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, Amanda Marquart
This week we are talking about one of the coolest birds in North America: The American Dipper. This is a smaller nondescript bird that has learned and adapted how find food in some of the roughest river water imaginable. It can fly through waterfalls, withstand rushing currents, and to the eye just looks like a little gray songbird. John and Shannon both have a ton of experience with them, so it’s a lot of fun to hear about these amazing birds.
