	White-throated Dipper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) is an aquatic passerine bird found in Europe and the Middle East, also known as the European Dipper or just Dipper.
		The Dipper is a rotund, short-tailed bird, dark above and white-breasted, closely associated with swiftly running rivers and streams or the lakes into which these fall.
		The Dipper often perches bobbing spasmodically with its short tail uplifted on the rocks round which the water swirls and tumbles.

	Dipper Dredges
		Dipper dredges normally have a bucket capacity of 8 to 12 cu yd and a working depth of up to 50 ft. There is a great variability in production rates, but 30 to 60 cycles per hour is routinely achieved.
		The dipper type of dredge is not self-propelled but can move itself during the dredging process by manipulation of the spuds and the dipper arm.
		Dipper dredges are frequently used when disposal areas are beyond the pumping distance of pipeline dredges, due to the fact that scow barges can transport material over long distances to the disposal area sites.

	Black Hills American Dipper
		It is also possible that the Black Hills dipper population is the result of an ongoing event, the result of dispersing dippers finding their way to the Black Hills across nearly 100 miles of grassland and sagebrush from the Bighorns Mountains or possibly other mountain ranges in the west.
		Dippers are indicators of water quality of mountain streams (Feck and Hall, 2004).
		A dipper that was banded on Whitewood Creek as a juvenile in July of 2003 was found dead in Deadwood on April 5, 2004.

		Dippers forage for aquatic insects and their larvae, small fish, and fish eggs.
		A dipper preens extensively, spreading body oils that maintain the waterproofing and smoothing ruffled feathers to protect the down beneath and maintain its insulating qualities.
		Dippers use fast-flowing water to protect their nests, which they build in the most unlikely places—below bridges, into steep creek banks, and even behind waterfalls.

	Dipper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dippers are members of the genus Cinclus in the bird family Cinclidae.
		They are a group of perching birds whose habitat includes aquatic environments in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
		The White-throated Dipper was also known historically in Britain as ouzel, or water ouzel (ouzel sometimes being spelt with an s rather than a z).

	AllRefer.com - dipper (Vertebrate Zoology) - Encyclopedia
		There are four species: the brownish gray North American dipper, Cinclus mexicanus, called also water ouzel, found from Alaska to Panama; the white-headed dipper of the Andes; the European common dipper, with a white throat and breast, found from Scandinavia to Africa; and the Asian dipper of Siberia and China.
		Dippers have filmy feathers, large preen glands that provide waterproofing oil, and flaps over the nostrils and a third eyelid to keep out water.
		Dippers are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Perciformes, family Cinclidae.

		Dippers swim poorly on the surface because their feet are not webbed but below the surface they are expert swimmers.
		Dippers will not fly over a mountain to find new stream, but follow stream courses down stream and then fly up a feeder stream in search of new territory.

	American Dipper
		Unfortunately very little is known respecting the habits of the American Dipper, which, however, being in form and size so very similar to that of Europe, probably resembles it in its mode of life.
		The Dipper is by no means a walking bird: even on land I have never seen it move more than a few steps, which it accomplished by a kind of leaping motion.
		As to the ova and fry of the salmon, there is no evidence whatever that the Dipper ever swallows them; and, therefore, the persecution to which this bird has been subjected in consequence of the mere suspicion, ought to cease until the fact be proved.

	The Bird That Flies Through Water - National Wildlife Magazine
		Like waterfowl (and unlike most other songbirds, which lose and replace feathers gradually), dippers compress the annual molt of their flight feathers to a week or two in August, during which time they may be unable to fly.
		Dippers prefer boxes placed over the fastest moving part of a stream, typically using them as sheltered ledges on which to build their traditionally elaborate nests.
		Dippers normally nest on mid-stream boulders or rock ledges just above the water, but such sites are scarce, and biologists consider this shortage the major factor inhibiting dipper reproduction.

		Dippers are a critical component of the shovel excavator system, one that is sometimes taken for granted.

	Finding the Pole Star
		Imagine a line connecting the two stars at the front of the "dipper", continue it on the side where the dipper is "open" to a distance 5 times that between the two stars (the flag shortens this a bit!), and you will arrive at (or very close to) the pole star.
		Because of their role in locating Polaris, these two stars are often called "the guides." And by the way--the last-but-one star in the handle of the "dipper", named Mizar by Arab astronomers, is a double star, whose components are readily separated by binoculars--or, some say, by very sharp eyes during good viewing conditions.
		The two front stars of the "little dipper" (quite smaller and more square than the big one) are fairly bright, but other stars are rather dim and require good eyes and a dark sky.

	Boston Rock Storybook - Big Dipper
		By my reckoning Big Dipper were one of the ten best bands to come out of the city of Boston (or, as former Mayor Kevin White used to say, 'the shitty of Boshton) in the 1980's.
		Mostly midwesterners by birth, Dipper brought along their wry wit and sense of large, open spaces when they split the land of the prairies and headed East.
		Part of that misconception was due to Dipper's composition "Ron Klaus Wrecked His House", a majestic tune that glides along like a seagull made of brushed aluminum, hitting peaks at the end of the verses until it is enveloped in a mad rush of storm-cloud chaos within the perfect pop order of the choruses.
