They don't live just in Europe.
They're in the US, too. We might see
some of these birds around.

I don't know if it was a dipper bird.  When I was a kid I remeber seeing these small birds by the banks.  See them sometimes fly into the weeds or muck by the shoreline and looks like they hiding in there but when I go check, they're gone.  I always thought they dove into the water.  Maybe they were dipper birds.

That sounds like their behavior.

There's sometimes this tiny fly catcher birds that swarms around us bank fishing folks.  You know the stinky worms and stinky fish that attracts a lot of flies and then of course mosquitos.  Sometimes when casting these tiny lures, of course feather jigs or artificial flies, and the fly catcher birds sometimes tries to catch the lure.

Funny time was this one guy went to cast his rod and poof, he hooked into one of the fly catcher birds from behind him.  I didn't see the moment he did it, but I saw the bird dangling from his fishing pole.  It was funny as if he went to cast and, "Dude, where's your lure?"  :2funny:

Funny.

That bird could have been a great bait for
pikes, basses, and cats.

I once hooked a cormorant and managed to reel it to shore.
My fellow anglers were scared because it would peck and
bite. But I just used my two fingers and held tight onto  its
beak and there was no incident.

If there's a good dipper, it's the cormorant, really. Even the
Chinese have used this bird to catch bigger fish under water.
Not just flies or other water bugs. Big fish like carps even.

Lord of the air and water the cormorant is.
