• DNCB Outing No. 2023-08B to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway & Reifel, February 22, 2023

  Six hearty souls started at the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal lookout at 08:00 (David, Noreen, Jonathan, Lorraine, Anne and Glen) where it was f-f-f-freezing and the tide was high. Anne’s cold fingers fed our sightings in to eBird for a total of 20 species, most at some distance out on the water. We were blanked on

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-07B to Serpentine Fen, February 15, 2023

  With high-level clouds above the eastern horizon catching fire with the rising sun, it was hard not to feel like a bear emerging from hibernation after a long, gloomy winter. 14 Birders met in the King George parking lot at Serpentine Fen: Thea (yours truly), Brian & Louise, Colin & Stephanie, David & Noreen, Glen,

• 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. 2022-49B to Terra Nova Regional Park, Richmond, December 7, 2022

  Note:  DNCB Outing No. 2022-49A to Terra Nova was cancelled.Small but mighty, I think that’s all you can say of our group. It was cloudy but dry and calm all morning and the 3 of us – yes, three (3)! – Stephanie, Colin and Glen – enjoyed the walk and saw 25 species. The list

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-45B to Ladner Harbour Park & South Arm Marshes, November 9, 2022

  On a crisp and clear morning 12 of us gathered at Ladner Harbour Park in front of the caretaker’s house and watched the busy birds enjoying the full feeders.  Many smaller regulars plus Northern Flickers and Downy Woodpeckers flitted between the front and back feeders.  It was nice to see that the feeders are being

  Eight DNCBers met at Lighthouse Park in Point Roberts – Dottie, Bob, Roger 2, Dirk, Glen, Lorna, Bryan and Terry. Bryan had ridden his (electric) bike from Ladner. Dave, a birder from Hamilton, was there and joined us. We had expected rain, but it was a glorious sunny but cool morning. On the pylons were

• 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

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-36A to North 40, September 6, 2022

  First things first … nobody died.  It was an adventuresome day for 5 birders exploring the less frequently used trails at North 40. As I recall, it all started when Lorna said, “What’s down this trail?”  Roger seemed to think there were adventures to be had, and Dottie, Bob and Glen just went along with

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-34B to Alaksen National Wildlife Area, August 24, 2022

  Fourteen enthusiastic birders gathered as the gates opened and headed west down the cedar-lined road looking for owls. Although we had no luck, sometime after we passed, a Barred Owl did pose for some photographers in the farthest west trees, something we learned at the end of our walk. Thea also found a fairly ancient
