Brown Dipper

Cinclus pallasii

Least Concern

The Brown Dipper is a compact river bird of cold, fast-flowing mountain streams. It bobs on rocks beside fast streams, then dives or walks underwater to take aquatic insect larvae and small prey. Dense plumage and strong legs help it feed in cold, rushing water.
