Comments on: Rare American dipper denied protection http://blackhillstravelblog.com/dippers Travel Help from South Dakota's Black Hills & Badlands Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:45:35 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Karl http://blackhillstravelblog.com/dippers/comment-page-1#comment-10727 Karl Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:23:58 +0000 http://blackhillstravelblog.com/?p=2315#comment-10727 BIRDS NEED HELP TOO ! Here in MitcHELL County, Kansas almost no one seems to care if our songbirds are frightened and fly away whenever a vehicle with a noisy muffler or boombox speeds by. As soon as the noisy lowlifes can be heard approaching while blocks away, I tell my neighbor that we're hearing the mating calls of the (unfortunately not endangered) MitcHELL County "horny birds"! But it really isn't funny and we've noticed that it's basically the ugliest kids who are the noisiest - the only way they can attract flighty females. Let's hear no more talk about "Kansas values"! Would love to hear some reactions to this. Almost desperate, Karl (in Karl's Kastle) BIRDS NEED HELP TOO !

They like to hang out along Whitewood Creek. There's at least a couple of them that like the spot right off the Sherman Street Parking lot. In the summer, you can lean up against the concrete barrier and watch them in the creek about 10 feet down. They're pretty plain to look at, but you know you've spotted one when you see it bob up and down. I’ve seen American dippers up in Spearfish Canyon, but also right in Deadwood.

I've never heard of these. I'll have to make a trip to Roughlock Falls to see some. Fascinating. I’ve never heard of these. I’ll have to make a trip to Roughlock Falls to see some.
