@johnjohnston I presume the bird with its head underwater is a Dipper? 😆

@Miraz yes 🤣 they bounce in and out of the water. I believe they have beaver bones than normal for a bird. Quite delightful.

@johnjohnston That is interesting! I liked that thin film of air when they dip underwater. Autocorrect catches me so often!
