• DNCB Outing No. 2023-47B to Terra Nova Rural Park, November 22, 2023

  After a real page-turner of a report from the Tuesday group, six Delta Nats—Thea, Rosemary, Richard, Glen, Louise, and Lidia—showed up at Terra Nova practically salivating at the prospect of a buffet of winter rarities, like Redpoll and Pine Grosbeak. The “partly sunny” part of the weather forecast was greatly embellished, and we found ourselves

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-35A to Sidney Spit, August 30, 2023

  Eight birders had a very enjoyable trip to Sidney Spit. The weather was perfect after the stormy weather of the previous day. Brian A, Lidia, Margaret, Lorna and Terry took the 7am Victoria ferry. From the windows on the walkway to the departure lounge we saw some cute gull chicks. At the Tsawwassen terminal were

  Where were the birds? We were all there in great numbers: Liz and Alan, Brian and Louise, Warren and Lynne, Anne, Brian R, Jonny Mac, Lee, Lidia, Lindly, Margaret, Marion, Glen and newcomer Joanna Chin who gamely made the whole trip with us on a pair of crutches! Maybe our large number scared off the

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-28B to Joe Brown Park, July 12, 2023

  Fifteen went in and nine came out. The fifteen was a large crowd of cats that needed herding: Dottie and Bob, Chris, Jacquie, Jean, Johnny Mac, Lee, Lidia, Liz, Margaret, Mike, Nick, Roger, Stephanie and Glen. Six of those found other ways and times to leave Joe Brown and the nine didn’t see them as

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-23B to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway & Reifel, June 7, 2023

  Ferry Causeway I was the only birder, casual or serious, at the ferry jetty this morning. The tide was high and some Black Oystercatchers were piping. Great Blue Herons flew into the marsh from the heronry, one by one, for the twenty minutes I was there. When I left, 25 were stood quietly on the

  Eight of us met at Ladner Harbour Park at 8am: Brian and Louise, Marion, Lindly, Lorna, Glen, Colin and Stephanie. It’s that time of year when you can hear things in the trees – and if you’re good you can recognize them – but the leaves make viewing a real challenge. I don’t think anyone

  Glen got to Joe Brown a few minutes before our 8am scheduled arrival and turned on Merlin Sound ID. In a few minutes it had identified 15 birds while just standing there at the entrance to the trail. But most of them were never seen as we walked through the park perhaps because all the

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-13B to Deas Island Regional Park, March 29, 2023

  Although it was chilly at 8:00 am on Wednesday, the sun shone the whole time, and it gradually warmed up as our group of seven made its way around Deas Island. We were Brian and Louise, Liz, Marion, Vicki, Margaretha, and Angela. Roger M. joined us briefly to make sure we found the Great Horned
