Their ringing song echoing through the forest was so beautiful I wouldn’t even be upset by the early wake-up call. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66528b9d4e0cb550fed97220/87e92c46-2b4a-43fe-b2e5-35f1e3273355/BCB20_128.jpg Blog - Birding: Getting Started - American Dippers / Alex Roy / @thepapabird on Instagram This endearing photo is of an American Dipper parent and juvenile bird. You can see the juvenile is flapping it’s wings and begging while being fed by it's parent. Notice the yellow beak, which is typical of juvenile birds. Think of it as a “target” to show the parent where to put the food. You can see the parent bird’s beak has turned black. These birds are extra neat because they are the only passerine bird who swims! Dippers live in western Turtle Island along rivers and streams, often at higher elevations. This photo was taken on Vancouver Island by my talented partner Alex Roy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66528b9d4e0cb550fed97220/a50e55ec-c378-486f-b8c5-132d63ed35b9/IMG_6430.JPEG Blog - Birding: Getting Started I’m always enjoying the city pigeons in Montreal <3 https://www.bird-curious.ca/blog/why-birds-anyways monthly 0.5 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66528b9d4e0cb550fed97220/c1d24602-6c4e-43da-9917-3c84b05cfc1c/BCB20_52.jpg Blog - Why birds, anyways? - “Each bird is surprising and thrilling in its own way.” -Amy Tan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66528b9d4e0cb550fed97220/be2a3998-519a-4fc1-8990-95a18b27b4e2/IMG_1565.jpg Blog - Why birds, anyways? - Non-breeding male Chestnut-sided Warbler.
