DNCB Outing #44 to Beach Grove
The group, consisting of Lorna, Eleanor, Marion, Mike, Terry, Hans and Roger, decided to repeat the trip of the same day last year for comparison.

Happy Thanksgiving… a dull and rainy start to the day. Meeting at Petra’s were a hardy few.

DNCB Outing No. 2011-39 to Alaksen and Reifel
Lorna, Gerhard and I spent a miserable Monday morning at Alaksen National Wildlife Area (NWA) and Reifel Bird Sanctuary. It rained all morning; through our often fogged up binocular we saw nothing earth-shattering.
