info

There are living 5 species of dippers in the world. The dipper has to be made of many of my favorite bird species and when leaving them for Ecuador it was on my iron list of species to photograph. I always admire how they move and dive for food. It was not possible to photograph the American dipper in Costa Rica. We tried mountain rivers several times, but nothing came of it until the last day. On this day, an hour before sunset-it is! Appeared dipper!. We thought it was a bird and the shots keep getting better. In the initial phase it was difficult to continue our approach to the shore and we turned back. We decided to wait on the left riverbank for a dippe, that was connected to what we were waiting for. It flew closer and posed for our photos. The best photos of the White-capped dipper were then taken. There was not enough light that day, the photographing and our entire trip were coming to an end, and here are these photos, such a place at the end of our trips! White-capped dipper goes to the news.
