Timoanogos Cave National Monument by National Parks Service

Habitat

The American Dipper is a year round resident of cold swift-water mountain streams fed by melting snow and glaciers in Western U.S. This bird often moves to lower elevations during winter instead of migrating.

Feeding

While feeding on aquatic insects and small crustaceans, the American Dipper wades, dives, and swims beneath water.
