Birders-

I found an American dipper at the state park just now.  It’s hanging out along Knickerbocker Creek where the trail crosses.  You can find how to hike there using a park map.  I’m guessing the elevation to be about 750 - 1,000 ft asl.  I had to wait around for around 20 minutes for the bird but the scat on the rocks indicated it was here.  It was foraging very actively in the water.
