[obol] American Dippers/Lane County Cascades

[Bruce Newhouse]

While snowshoeing yesterday, I saw AMERICAN DIPPERS active in cold, icy 
creeks in two places:  at the bridge over Salt Creek just above Salt 
Creek Falls (about 4100 feet elevation) and at the base of a waterfall 
(unnamed on USGS maps) in Fall Creek about 1 mile west of Too Much Bear 
Lake (about 4200 feet elevation).  The latter bird was going in the icy 
water and behind large icy masses, apparently foraging.  Brrrrrr!
