  PHOTO: Picture Lake by Terry Carr…. Five Delta Nats made the annual trek to Mount Baker, Washington, on a gorgeous day without a cloud in the sky – Joe, Margaret, Dottie, Bob, Terry. This is not a particularly birdy destination, but the scenery is spectacular. There was no wait at the border in either direction.

• Delta Naturalists Outing to Point Roberts, September 3, 2024

  PHOTO: Common Loon by Terry Carr…. 9 Delta Nats crossed the border to meet at Lighthouse Marine Park in Point Roberts. Newbies, Srikar and Chandani, had taken public transit to Tsawwassen from Vancouver’s West End. Everyone was suitably impressed by how early they had started out that morning. Some of us had stopped first at

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-38B to Centennial Beach, September 20, 2023

  10 of us gathered this morning at Boundary Bay Regional Park: park regulars David and Noreen, Colin, Chris, Lee, Lidia, Stephanie, Warren, Pat, and me (Anne). The weather was a little cool and grey, but with sunny spells between the clouds. We decided to go around the park “widdishins” – along the back trails northward

  Eleven birders met at Blackie Spit – Terry, Lorna, Lidia, Dottie, Jacquie, Bob, Lee, Brian R, Jim, Mike and Chris (not in photo). The tide and birds were far away – herons, ducks, gulls and shorebirds. On the spit were American Pipits and Savannah Sparrows. A Pileated Woodpecker flew past the parking area. Chris found

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-50B to Brunswick Point, December 14, 2022

  Five birders (Colin, Marion, Liz, Nick and Glen) were sure that the fog was going to burn off “real soon” so made the trek.  And we were right, most of the day was in full sun and it even warmed up.  The only disappointments were the hunter returning with a goose, the people with off-leash

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-39B to White Rock Pier & Blackie Spit, September 28, 2022

  Seven DNCBers gathered at White Rock pier on a rather grey, cool morning.  A train had just roared past causing birds in the adjacent water to fly off, but they gradually returned.  The tide was high, and flocks of Canada and Cackling Geese were in the majority along the waters edge. Mallard,  Surf Scoter and

  Fifteen DNCBers met at White Rock Pier on a warm, slightly hazy morning – Bob, Dottie, Jacquie, John, Glen, Margaret, Lorna, Lori, Pat, Marion, Marti, Colin, Stephanie, Bryan DeB and Terry.  The large number of winter seabirds seem to be slow returning.  Near the pier there were House Sparrows, Rock Doves, Mallards, Canada Geese, about

  With a rising tide and a 12 foot High for 09:12 at Crescent Beach, the group gathered before 8 AM to catch the shorebirds moving inshore.  There were lots of Western Sandpipers closer in and Black-bellied Plovers a bit farther out with some Sanderling along the tide edge.  Without a scope the identification of the

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-43A to Boundary Bay Dyke at 104th on October 26, 2021

  Eleven hardy souls gathered at 9 AM in the SE winds and hoped for the rain to hold off during our stroll along the dyke.  Lidia had arrived earlier when there were still a few sandbars, but the low pressure combined with the SE wind had brought a “Storm Surge” high tide which had obliterated
