American Dipper repeats at Clear Creek and Lowell Blvd. today, Adams County

[Robert Canter]

Hi CoBirders

I saw an American Dipper just before 10 am on the west side of tle Lowell Blvd, bridge over Clear Creek. It was on the wood jammed on the rocks below the bridge. I saw it well and for about 15 mins. The bill was black, This bird show no white edges to any feathers. Wings and head had brown tones. White eye lid flashed often. It was foraging along the downed tree, dipping at times. I did not see it enter the water. Clear Creek is running very full. The ponds at Lowell Ponds Open Space were full of Violet-green Swallows. All other other birds seen were common and expected.
