The Singer in the Stream

Why did the songbird dive in the rapids? Because she's a dipper! American Dippers are small perching birds that spend their whole lives in and near fast-moving mountain streams. They're great birds for beginning birdwatchers to learn, because they're easy to recognize and great fun to watch. Naturalist John Muir often described dippers as his favorite birds.This book tells the story of a year in the lives of dippers. A section at the end provides additional information for parents and teachers.
