The ten were Brian and Louise, Chris, Glen, Colin and Stephanie, Lori and Hasan, Thea and Rosemary. The border entry was fine.

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-47B to Brunswick Point, November 24, 2021

  I arrived punctually at 8am, and Noreen and David were parked a few minutes later. After deciding we must be the only birders today, we set off along the trail around Brunswick Point. Golden-crowned Sparrows were hopping around the soil piles on the farmland edge, and the first of many Song Sparrows made itself visible.

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-47A to Brunswick Point & North 40/VWS, November 23, 2021

  Twelve people met at Brunswick Point on Tuesday. It was clear but cold, and very windy with whitecaps on the river. The wind kept most birds hidden, but we did have some good sightings. A Merlin sped by the parking area. Several Northern Harriers were patrolling both sides of the dyke, and there were Eagles

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-39B to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway & Reifel on September 29, 2021

  As usual, the birding day I chose turned out to be the rainiest day in the week. More than half of the signed up group of 14 decided to stay home and most of us were late. Only Noreen and David made it to the Tsawwassen jetty to peer at birds through the early morning

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-36 to DeBoville Slough on September 7, 2021

  The weather forecast called for possible showers and we did encounter some drizzle as we departed Tsawwassen about 07:30, however, 7 intrepid birders turned up for our walk along the North side of the slough.  Marion was early, and the rest of us a bit late as the traffic was slow in spots. The group

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-32B to Terra Nova on August 11, 2021

  While four of us, Noreen and David, Lidia and Marion S. were waiting at the parking lot, we kept hearing a loud sharp “aoowww”! We soon spotted a Green Heron being harassed by a swallow as it sat in a bare-branched tree out in the marsh. The heron continued to call after the swallow left,
