What a cute baby! A few blogs ago, we posted some photos of an adult American Dipper gathering food near his/her nest. At that time, the baby was still in the nest. Now, the baby has fledged. These little guys are amazing. They can leap out of their nest for the first time, plummet into rushing water, and come up with food. They are self-sufficient.
Dave has been able to get by and see their progress as they are near his office. He couldn't believe that the little guy was so grown up. The only thing that makes it clear this is the youngster is that this bird has a yellow bill.
The adults have black bills. Plus, you can see the softness of his/her bill in the corners. How cute is that?
