Wildlife Wednesday - American Dipper

Finch Lake, Bluebird Lake, Lark Pond, Pipit Lake, Chickadee Pond, Eagle Lake, Falcon Lake, Junco Lake, Ouzel Lake. There are many lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park named after birds. Only one bird lends its name to a creek and waterfall, however. That would be the Water Ouzel, also known as the American Dipper. Join us Thursday evening, March 23rd for EVWC Presents: A Dipper’s Story, by Dawn Wilson, to find out what makes this bird so special.
