DNCB Outing No. 2013-6 Boundary Bay Lagoon-Beach Grove-Deas Island
Only the hardiest of “Delta Force” turned out at Petra’s on a damp, bone-chilling Monday morning. Lorna, Hans, Gerhard, Sheila, Eric, Donna, Brian and Janet, and myself (Roger) headed down to the lagoon at the foot of 12th Ave. and walked out to the viewing platform. Along the way we sighted Northern Harriers, the usual…

DNCB Outing No. 2012-51 72nd Street Boundary Bay
As usual with a local outing, the group of ten birding enthusiasts met at Petra’s to decide on the day’s destination. If not for Sheila’s decision-making we would probably still be sitting there… “72nd it is” she says, and off we went. The group of ten included Ken and Anne A, Jane, Kay, Terry, Mike, Sheila, Marion, the…

DNCB Outing No: 2012-48 From Beach Grove Lagoon to 104th Street
With a beautiful sunny morning it was no surprise that there was an 800% increase in members turning out over last week’s dismal performance. Eight of us, Lorna, Mike, Marion, Brian and Janet, Gerhard, Terry, and Roger, left Petra’s for the foot of 12th Ave to survey the lagoon. Right away, in the parking lot,…

DNCB Birds on the Bay Outing 2012-26 in BBRP
On Wednesday, June 6, we had an almost unwieldy 34 participants for our Delta Nats quarterly Birds on the Bay outing in Boundary Bay Regional Park. It was a beautiful sunny morning.

DNCB Outing No. 2011-48 White Rock Pier/Blackie Spit/72nd
Even with a cold morning we had a large turnout at Petra’s. Without our leader, Tom (we had fun coming up with imaginative excuses he may have had for abandoning us…we won’t print Hans’s winner), we decided to drive directly to the White Rock pier hoping to see a variety of sea birds. Those taking…

DNCB Outing No. 2011-47 to 64th and 72nd Streets on the Dike
Seven Casual Birders (Hans, Roger, Mike, Jonathan & Lorraine, Terry and me; Kay apparently cannot tell time so she missed us and birded alone at Boundary Bay Park) enjoyed a beautiful, sunny Monday morning along the Boundary Bay dike path at 64th and 72nd Streets. It was a banner morning for up-close-and-personal looks at several…

DNCB Outing No. 2011-40 to Boundary Bay & Reifel Island
Happy Thanksgiving… a dull and rainy start to the day. Meeting at Petra’s were a hardy few. Regulars Lorna, Tom, Marion, Mike and Roger were joined by newcomers Bruce and Niki who are soon to be local residents. Because of the inclement weather we decided to start at the foot of 12th Avenue and bird…
