Dippers nest building on Big Thompson (Larimer)

[Jeff Kehoe]

I found a couple dippers building a nest near my house in the Big Thompson Canyon.  They've put most of that vegatation there in the last couple days. It's on a cliff right over the river.

Here's another photo without the zoom.  The nest is the dark triangular spot just left of center.  The nest is 4-5 feet above the water. The nest is noticably larger today.
