More on nesting American Dippers

I took this pic of one American Dipper parents standing by a nest that was located under a bridge in western Fremont County. This and the other parent were trying to keep their nestlings fed in a location with a lot of heavy fly fishing pressure. I watched them work at the parental duties, even staying when someone approached. One parent tryed to stay near the nest, presumably to guard it, while the other foraged for food.

I originally watched this pair trying hard to feed their nestlings a week ago and today they were still at it. At least there weren't any fishermen close enough to impede their feeding while I was there today.
