• DNCB Outing No. 2022-45A to Ladner Harbour Park, November 8, 2022

  Six DNCBers met at Ladner Harbour Park on a cold sunny morning – Glen, Dirk, John, Bryan DeB, Lorna and Terry.  A light dusting of snow overnight covered the branches with snow.  This made for a very scenic walk. Bird feeders at the caretaker’s house had attracted Anna’s Hummingbirds, Black-capped Chickadees and Downy Woodpeckers.  The

• DNCB Outing No. 40B to Burnaby Lake, October 5, 2022

  Another aberrantly warm October morning dawned on Vancouver, enticing 13 birders to the ever-popular Burnaby Lake Regional Park: Brian, Louise, Gabriele, Margaretha, Glen, Jacquie, Kirsten, Lee, Margaret, Marion, Stephanie, and Thea and her guest, Catherine.  Here, a 12,000-year-old glacial lake sprawls across 770 acres of land that, together with the surrounding deciduous and fir forests,

• 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,

On the river below and flying above, were Canada Geese, Gulls, noisy Caspian Terns, Eagles, Cormorants, Swallows, Crows and a Raven. In the foliage

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-21A to UBC Botanical Garden, May 25, 2022

  It was rumors of Jaegers and Ospreys that lured 7 birders through peak morning traffic to the UBC look-out on Old Marine Drive.  And while such rare treasures were never found, the sheer abundance of passerine species seen and heard more than compensated.  The birders present were Margaret, Margaretha, Gabriele, Glen, Stephanie, yours truly, and

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-18B to Joe Brown Park, May 4, 2022

  The seasonal weather continued its epic sulk over much of the Fraser River Delta as nine birders arrived at the lushly-forested Joe Brown Park in Surrey.  They were Marion, Gabriele, Rosemary (mother dearest), Margaretha, Mike—who had brought along Sean (a birding enthusiast) who had only just arrived from the UK—and, finally, Colin and Stephanie, who

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-15B to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway and Reifel Bird Sanctuary, April 13, 2022

  Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway Report Glen was already at the terminal pull-in stop when I arrived just after 8:30 am, and Bryan Debou joined us shortly after, arriving impressively by electric bicycle!  The tide was high, and Bufflehead flocks were the dominant feature on the north side: I estimated about 200 birds, total, in sight, both

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-13B to Deas Island Regional Park, March 30, 2022

  Deas is one of my regular monthly birding spots, so I was excited to see what seasonal changes had occurred since my last visit on March 6.  I arrived early at 7:45am and checked out the area near the rowing club.  A very loud Bewick’s Wren sang its way to the top of a bush,

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-13A to Deas Island Regional Park, March 29, 2022

  The day threatened fog and mixed clouds, but by mid morning it was sunny and warm enough that people were unzipping layers. The group of 12, then 13, then 14 started from the Bat House (Burr Villa) and inspected the river from the observation deck around the tower. We failed to find the very purple
