Tiercel 6,986 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 A Dipper usually nests under bridges, in stone walls, even found them under overhangs, they have a similar nest to a wren only quite a bit larger. But, they will always be next to a stream or water course, sometimes they will be within a foot of the water other times they can be 10 feet from water level.
