Hey tweets, I don't know about Green Lake records, but in Gene Hunn's book, "Birding in Seattle and King County," he notes that there are a few winter records for American Dippers in the lowlands of King County, and some nesting records as well:
? a few nesting below Snoqualmie Falls
? nesting birds on Tokul Creek near Fall City
? a pair with young near Kenmore in Wallace Swamp Creek Park
? a winter record in Wallace Swamp Creek just upstream from Lake Washington
? a famous one that frequented the trout hatchery outlet in Seward Park for 12 years, 1978-89.

So American Dippers can be found in out of the way places, but a Green Lake bird is still super. - Connie, Seattle
