[cobirds] Bear Creek Dippers, Boulder Open Space (Boulder County)

The 2013 floods on Bear Creek in Boulder Open Space blew out the culverts where the Mesa Trail crosses, creating a nice waterfall and pool.  An opportunistic Dipper family made a nest behind the new waterfall.  Both parents are feeding chicks at this point.  The Dippers seem to tolerate quite a lot of human foot traffic just a few feet downstream.
