Hiked up to Lake 22 today, about 20 minutes North of Granite Falls. At the
south end of the lake were a pair of common mergansers sort of nosing along
the shoreline. As I got a bit closer I also saw a dipper working the
shoreline, quite close to the merganser male. Perhaps it was just
coincidence but the merganser followed the dipper for several hundred feet,
the two being about 2 feet apart.
