Six birders met at the viewpoint on the road up to Cypress Provincial Park – Lidia, Lee, Glen, Lorna, Margaret and Terry. There was very light traffic on this July morning and we quickly reached our destination. The view to the city below was a bit hazy. There were birds singing here but not all…

Many of us missed the turn from 272 Ave on the first attempt, but all 11 of us got there: Brian and Louise, Colin and Stephanie, Warren and Lynne, David and Noreen, Lidia, Marion and Glen. The sun was already beating down, looking like a scorcher in Langley. There was interesting construction just north of…

DNCB Outing No. 2023-24B to Colony Farm, June 14, 2023
There were only supposed to be 3 of us there: Marion, Lindly and Glen. At 08:00 we called Lindly to check and she had thought it would be bad weather so decided last night not to come. We told her it was looking pretty good – overcast but dry enough – so she said she…

DNCB Outing No. 2023-23B to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway & Reifel, June 7, 2023
Ferry Causeway I was the only birder, casual or serious, at the ferry jetty this morning. The tide was high and some Black Oystercatchers were piping. Great Blue Herons flew into the marsh from the heronry, one by one, for the twenty minutes I was there. When I left, 25 were stood quietly on the…

DNCB Outing No. 2023-23A to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway & Reifel, June 6, 2023
Five birders met on the ferry causeway on a very windy morning. There were Eagles, Herons, gulls and Oystercatchers, but the other birds were sheltering somewhere else. We stopped at the heronry near the beginning of the causeway. Many herons were on nests, many more were flying in or out, and eagles were soaring above.…

DNCB Outing No. 2023-22A to UBC Botanical Garden, May 30, 2023
Ten birders spent a pleasant morning wandering through the UBC Botanical Garden – Jonathan, Terry, Don, Lidia, Dottie, Bob, Lee, Lorna, Deems and Lorraine. As Lee said, the variety of plants and trees more than made up for the lack of birds seen. In fact, they were likely responsible for the lack of birds seen.…

DNCB Outing No. 2023-21C to Queen Elizabeth Park, May 27, 2023
“Hutton’s Vireo, Purple Finch, Western Tanager, Swainson’s Thrush, Black-headed Grosbeak, Chipping Sparrow, Hammond’s Flycatcher…” said the latest eBird checklists from Queen Elizabeth Park. And so, 12 birders arrived at our usual meeting point at the Pitch n’ Putt, practically salivating at the prospect of great springtime birding… only to encounter that a most eerie quiet…
