  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

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-44A to Point Roberts, Washington, November 1, 2022

  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

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-33B to Terra Nova Regional Park, August 17, 2022

  I arrived 15 minutes early at the northernmost point of Westminster Road, where I began scanning the verdant reeds for signs of birds. There were adult and juvenile Glaucous-winged gulls patrolling the distant shore and flocks of wheeling and diving Barn Swallows, whose deep swallow-tails and rufous breasts I could just make out in the

• DNCB Outing to Colebrook Park, July 27, 2022

  The 2022-30B Outing to Maplewood Flats was cancelled, so a few DNCB members arranged to meet for an “unofficial” Outing to new destination Colebrook Park in Surrey. 7 keen birders (Johnny Mac, Ken And Anne, Gabriele, Marion, Colin and Stephanie) met at 8:00am and although we took our time, we were finished and on the

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-29A to Joe Brown Park, July 19, 2022

  An excellent outing to Joe Brown Park. The biggest challenge was parking – we took over all the space along the side of 125A Street right to the bottom of the hill. There were 16 of us with almost no carpooling – Ken and Anne were back! and Jean too! plus Angela, Ontario Brian, Gabriele,
