DNCB Outing #2011-6 to Blaine, Wa

Seventeen birders joined me on a brisk sunny Monday morning across the Border to Blaine, Washington. They like their names in lights: our Guru Anne M, Accident-prone Annie K, Always-lost Bill & Mary and their beanied friend (sorry I forget your name), Roger never-trust-his-directions M, Roger’s affable sidekick Mike, Go-All-Day Lorna, the impeccable but often

DNCB Outing #2011-4 to Minnekhada Park

Six weirdos (Roger & Mike, Lorna, Eleanor, Hans and Bill) joined me this morning on a miserable and unproductive, but enjoyable, Monday morning at Minnekhada Regional Park in Coquitlam. Hi-lites of the outing were: Lorna’s butter tart at Smoko, Hans’ inane conversation and that we survived. Bill’s photos are already on our Picasa site at

Birds on the Bay Outing #2011-02A in Boundary Bay Park

At 9:00 a.m. this morning (Wed. Jan. 12), Rochelle and I were alone at Cammidge House. An unusual heavy, for Delta, snowfall hit the Lower B.C. Mainland last night and this freaks out the locals. At writing this, it’s now 7:00 p.m. and the snow is nearly all melted away. However, Delta Nats first 2011
