I noticed that nobody has mentioned the Teanaway River Bridge, near Cle
Elem.
Directions are in the 'White Book' (Wahl and Paulson, 1981). American
Dippers
nest under the bridge. I haven't noticed any 'best' time of day, but the
only time I
have 'dipped' on dipper at this location was in the early spring when the
river was
really high.
