On Thursday November 10, Thea, Rosemary, Jonathan, Lorraine, Terry, Bryan, Janet, Estelle, and Lorna plunged south in the predawn gloom on a day trip to Port Townsend in the United States. Lidia overnighted in Coupeville and met us at the Keystone Ferry Terminal, so there were 10 of us in total. The day dawned overcast

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 No. 2022-33A to Terra Nova Regional Park, August 16, 2022
Seventeen members had signed up for our walk this morning, and all but a few showed up. Being a little vague, I never got the exact number (14?). We had just got ourselves together in the carpark beside the river when a young Cooper’s Hawk made a dashing appearance, accompanied by some raucous crows. They

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
