American Dipper - Hardy Falls, BC There is a little stream where the Kokanee spawn and the Dippers appreciate it along the Okanagan Lake named Hardy Creek. These little water birds are one of the only songbirds in the world to dive for their food. They eat aquatic insects, fish eggs and fish fry. They are sometimes underwater for more than a minute looking for food and come up dry as a bone, most likely from the extra oil they produce. Michael W Klotz 2021 - www.TheBirdBlogger.com
