DNCB Outing No. 2023-24B to Colony Farm, June 14, 2023
There were only supposed to be 3 of us there: Marion, Lindly and Glen. At 08:00 we called Lindly to check and she had thought it would be bad weather so decided last night not to come. We told her it was looking pretty good – overcast but dry enough – so she said she…

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…

DNCB Outing No. 2023-23A to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway & Reifel, June 6, 2023

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…
