Dippers Love GoPros or do they?

Nov 13, 2014 | Birds, Dipper

  • This shows some of the reactions of an American Dipper to a GoPro camera.
  • One time it captured a salmon fry and brought it in front of the GoPro and ate it.
  • Then it sang in front of the GoPro. They have a beautiful song and even sing year round so I was glad to have it recorded.
  • At first I thought it was either ignoring the camera or performing in front of it.
  • But then it pecked the camera a couple of times and used it as a launching platform when feeding underwater.
  • The sequence is fun to watch and to speculate.
