Two American Dippers are around 470 and the South Platte. One under the 470 bridge and the South Platte River. The other is on the C-470 bike path at this location 
.

You can now load a video of a bird directly to your eBird checklist. I got a video of the American Dipper that I loaded to the list.

Greg,
I am wondering how you uploaded your videos to the checklist? I am trying that now and I cant figure out how to make that work. On the ebird help page, underneath FAQ's about media uploads, it says that certain people have been given the ability to upload videos to see if it might be a feature that should be made available to all ebird users through the new Manage Media function. If that info is up to date, then it sounds like we the ability for anyone to upload videos is coming soon. If that ability is already working, I would like to know how you uploaded your dipper videos, because I'm struggling to do so with my videos.

Joe and all - 

For those with video upload access, it works identically to the photo and audio upload capability.  When I look at the "Manage Media" page for a checklist, on the right, I can see information on Photos, Audio and Video.  I assume that if you can see Video in that location that you have access to the video upload capability.

I think eBird Central is trying to gauge reaction and behavior to this new capability as videos will occupy significantly more space than photos.

Good birding,
