DNCB Outing No. 2023-19B to Joe Brown Park, May 10, 2023
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. 2022-37B to Boundary Bay Dyke from 104th to 96th, September 14, 2022
With a rising tide and a 12 foot High for 09:12 at Crescent Beach, the group gathered before 8 AM to catch the shorebirds moving inshore. There were lots of Western Sandpipers closer in and Black-bellied Plovers a bit farther out with some Sanderling along the tide edge. Without a scope the identification of the

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

I arrived 15 minutes early at the northernmost point of Westminster Road, where I began scanning the verdant reeds for signs of birds.

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
