  • Locomotion and Other Behavior of the Dipper
    Vol. 61 LOCOMOTION AND OTHER BEHAVIOR OF THE DIPPER By WILLL4M’ R. GOODGE As a part of a study of adaptations for aquatic life in the North American Dipper (C&cZ~ me&unus) , an effort was made to learn more about the locomotor behavior of this speciesin order to form a basis for interpretation of structural modifications. In this paper the locomotion of the dipper, with particular regard to underwater progres- sion, is described and analyzed by the use of information obtained through field study and by observation and motion picture photography of captive birds in the laboratory. Although a thorough field study of nesting behavior was not a part of this work, some data of this nature obtained during the study of locomotor behavior will be included. The latter material, although fragmentary, supplements previously published informa- tion. Until the work of Hann (1950) there had been no intensive study of the nesting habits of this species in spite of the fact that its unusual mode of life for a passerine bird makes it an especially interesting species. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dippers were observed in the field at many localities in the state of Washington, but the majority of the observations were made on a pair of birds nesting along the upper Raging River in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains near North Bend, Washington, at an elevation of about 1000 feet. Other nesting dippers were observed along Icicle River near Leavenworth on the east slope of the Cascades at an elevation of about 2500 feet. Most of the field work was done in 1954 and 1955.

Take another look. Sometimes big surprises come in little packages. What makes this species special? Why is this nondescript, dark brown to gray bird amazing? It doesn’t look amazing, but don’t judge too quickly… several things make them very special. American dipper Indicator Species Think of the old reference to a ‘Canary in a Gold Mine.’ Canaries were used as an indicator species for the mining industry. Canaries are very sensitive to methane and carbon monoxide. Early mines did not have ventilation systems and could be very dangerous. As long as the canaries were singing, it was safe. American dippers are very sensitive to pollution and are only found on rushing, unpolluted streams.

  • Seasonal Trends in Population Density, Distribution, and Movement of American Dippers Within a Watershed of Southwestern British Columbia, Canada
    The Condor 106:815±825 q The Cooper Ornithological Society 2004 SEASONAL TRENDS IN POPULATION DENSITY, DISTRIBUTION, AND MOVEMENT OF AMERICAN DIPPERS WITHIN A WATERSHED OF SOUTHWESTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA CHRISTY A. MORRISSEY1,LEAH I. BENDELL-YOUNG1 AND JOHN E. ELLIOTT2,3 1Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6, Canada 2Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada, 5421 Robertson Road RR# 1, Delta, BC V4K 3N2, Canada Abstract. American Dippers concentrate on low-elevation streams during fall and winter in many parts of their range; however the breeding origin relative to the wintering location is poorly understood. Our objectives were to identify seasonal changes in the density and distribution of American Dippers, to classify the migratory behavior of the local population, and to determine the origin of winter migrants within a coastal watershed of British Colum- bia, Canada. During 1999±2002, we color banded 522 dippers and radio-tagged 14 in the Chilliwack River watershed. Using mark-resighting techniques, we identi®ed peak densities on the main river during early November (9.8 6 1.4 [SE] birds per stream km), which was nearly 5 times higher than in early July (2.1 6 0.3 birds per stream km). The watershed's total population size, estimated from November surveys, was 429 6 64 [SE] dippers in 1999, 682 6 79 in 2000, 697 6 123 in 2001, and 550 6 72 in 2002. The majority (79± 90%) of the dipper population seasonally migrated, primarily moving from the main river in fall and winter to the higher-elevation tributaries in spring.

    The effect of altitude on the breeding ecology of the dipper (Cinclus cinclus) Thesis submitted in complete fulfilment of the degree of MSc Ecology (by research) Richard Paul Wilkinson BSc (Hons), PGCE May 2019 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own work, except where acknowledged, and has not been submitted elsewhere in the same form for the fulfilment of a higher-level degree. Richard Wilkinson May 2019 i Dedications In thanks for the lives of: Jean Thornley 1926 - 2018 Martin John Bickerdyke BSc, MSc, PGCE 1961 - 2018 ii Thesis abstract In many migratory populations, only some individuals migrate each year whereas others are resident; this is known as partial migration. Empirical studies of the causes and consequences of altitudinal partial migration are few, and the costs and benefits of the different life-history strategies involved require further study. In this thesis, I investigate the effect of altitude and other factors on the timing of breeding, reproductive success and parental care in a partially migrant species; the dipper (Cinclus cinclus), a specialised riparian passerine that is thought to be declining in the UK. Most dipper populations comprise partial migrants that move to higher altitudes to breed and sedentary residents at lower elevations, but little is known about the effects of elevational gradients on the life-history traits and reproductive success of these birds. Here, I used mixed effect models to analyse field data from a long-term study population and: (1) examine the effects of altitude, female age and size on lay date, nestling mass, fledging success, number of fledglings and annual productivity; and (2) investigate the effect of altitude and prey availability on parental provisioning rate.

  • NESTING BEHAVIOR of the AMERICAN DIPPER in COLORADO by HARRY W
    THE CONDOR VOLUME 52 MARCH-APRIL, 1950 NUMBER 2 NESTING BEHAVIOR OF THE AMERICAN DIPPER IN COLORADO By HARRY W. HANN Early naturalists and pioneers in western North America were attracted by the peculiar behavior of the American Dipper (Cinclus meticenus), its aquatic feeding habits, melodious singing, and custom of nesting by swift mountain streams. Many writers have described various phases of its behavior, but none has made consecutive observations that in any sense approach a life history study. While at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory at Gothic, Colorado, in the summer of 1947, I became acquainted with the American Dipper and spent consider- able time observing a nest and the parents and young after the young had left the nest. In the following summer, J arrived at Gothic on June 8 and remained until August 6, t of that time studying the dipper. Although June 8 seems like late in the at low altitudes, this was by no means true at Gothic. The last few miles e Laboratory had just been cleared of a remaining snow bank and two only the day before I arrived, and I was the first person to reach the station er. The weather for a week after I arrived was pleasant, with the tempera- about freezing at night and up to 60” or 70°F. in the course of the cold rain and light snow followed before the summer weather nks remained during the summer at a few hundred feet higher ated at an elevation of 9,500 feet, about 700 feet higher than County, the nearest town and post office, nine miles away.
