A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Cinclus mexicanus
Small, stocky gray bird with a brown head. Constantly bob up and down. The only aquatic song bird in North America, getting to see these guys jump in the water and swim around like little ducks was too awesome!
High elevation, fast flowing stream on the side of a highway.

How cool! I've never seen one.
I know, I wasn't expecting them to be so shy! I will come visit again and we will find more cooperative ones haha
Surprisingly, I really like the 3rd pic! Who knew these little birds would be so difficult to photograph! Well done!
Thank you everyone! Was very exciting to see this species, they are very neat birds
