Excerpt from page 42 of "B.C.'s Inland Empire" by Erskine Burnett associated with this image: Along the creek you will see the dipper, who loves the waterfall and the boulder-strewn creek-bed. He will fly out from behind a rock, perch on another rock, trill out his little song and vanish. Probably his nest is hidden on a ledge of rock overhung with branches. A kingfisher shoots past like an arrow from a bow and sandpiper alights on a stretch of shingle and "teeters" before continuing his flight. We found a robin's nest with eggs on the 20th of May, - probably the first brood as the season up there is later than in the lower valleys. The trails up these valleys used to be kept cut out by the Forest Service of Canada but are now overgrown with brush as high as a man's head in many places.
