What a feast, your local robins are very lucky!

Do you have a stream they come to or do they hunt for land insects in your yard too?

I couldn't believe how smooth the water flows over them, dippers are such amazingly well adapted creatures and fun to watch!

An American Dipper in the river with water flowing over top. The stream is clear and smooth with feather detail visible through the water.

They are usually so elusive! But this guy seemed very enthusiastic about being visible and meeting local singles in his woods 🤣

Thank you! That one was very cooperative and mostly climbed one side of the tree, it is very funny (and frustrating) when they like to spiral up the trunk. 🙂

Honestly quantity makes good luck, 2 of ~1700 frames I shot that day were particularly interesting keepers!

A young Dark-eyed Junco stares directly into your soul, judging you intensely for being a human and not a juicy little worm, while foraging for insects amongst green clover and grass.

Thank you! This was 1/1000s, a very lucky moment when it paused to hover for a split second.
