I toured various parts of Ashland Creek this morning during the snow flurries.  Being by myself, I wasn’t able to check every part of the creek in Lithia, but I saw enough to think that there still are no Dippers to be seen there.

Also checked the area near Hersey Street where I saw two birds last Saturday, but saw nothing there either.

Later on the same day Kathy Simonsen reported:

I was in Lithia Park this afternoon…also with snow flurries and saw two dippers fly downstream.  They were pretty vocal.  I was in the area where the creek branches into two sections (one with no water right now).  They were so fast I couldn’t tell if they were banded and didn’t see them again.
