Singing dipper in Boulder

While walking on the Boulder Creek path between 6th St and the library, a dipper was singing a beautiful spring song under the bridge on 9th Street.

I had a pair of dippers on Boulder Creek near 3rd late yesterday afternoon, chattering but not singing.  Dippers have a very surprisingly musical song--the first time I heard it was from a bird singing in the mouth of a culvert along a river in Alberta, with the culvert amplifying the song.

I had a pair singing on the Big Thompson in Larimer County a couple days ago too! What a great sound.

At 6:20 last night, a Dipper was singing under the bridge on the east side of Eben Fine Park in Boulder.  It was hard to pin down where the sound was coming from--it sounded at first like it was coming from up in a tree, then like it was upstream, and finally my wife spotted it under the bridge.  It then flew off downstream.  It's probably the same bird Elena heard singing last week 4 blocks downstream.
