For the last several years one to two American Dippers have spent the winter on the Arkansas River just east of Canon City, CO. Since the Arkansas River freezes in many areas it isn't unusual for this species to go downstream to open waters.
This dipper really filled it's beak with nesting material. The bottom pic shows the undertail coverts, a view seldom seen in photos of this species. SeEtta
