Crossing creeks, Patla suggested keeping close watch for American dippers, also known as water ouzels, and sure enough, they spotted several.

Among birds particularly interesting because of curious and unusual habits are the broadtailed hummingbird, water ouzel, campbird, nuthatch, nighthawk, and the ptarmigan, pipit, and rosy finch of the high peaks.

This gorge is the home of the water ouzel, which is often seen flying back and forth in the spray.

Here I find the little water ouzel as much at home as any linnet in a leafy grove, seeming to take the greater delight the more boisterous the stream.

One American bird, and one only, chooses perpetual dampness for his environment,—the American dipper, or water ouzel.
