a genus of water birds known as dippers, small songbirds that inhabit fast-flowing streams.
From Greek kinklē (to wind or move), chosen for the genus name because of these birds' characteristic bobbing and winding movements.
The genus Cinclus includes some of nature's most specialized birds—they have waterproof feathers, and can see clearly underwater because their eyes adjust when diving.
