American Dipper

I've added this close-up because a conversation between a photographer friend and a fish biologist reported that the dipper has a habit of clipping off a fry's tail while in pursuit so that the fish would not be able to escape.

 

Obviously, in this case the bird didn't have to employ the technique because the fry's tail is intact.
