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. 2022-33B 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…

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 Outng No. 2022-28B to Blackie Spit, July 13, 2022
Seven Delta Nats Casual birders (Thea, Rosemary, Margaret, Gabriele, Liz, Richard, and Chris) met on a beautiful day for a leisurely walk at Blackie Spit. The tide was very low with mud flats making up most of our vista. While we were waiting for the group, a flock of Ring-billed Gulls dozed on the beach,…

DNCB Outing No. 2022-28A to Blackie Spit, July 12, 2022
Twelve DNCDers met at Blackie Spit on warm, sunny morning – Roger, Mike, Lorna, Glen, Lidia, Ontario Brian, Bryan D, John, Lindly, Dottie, Bob and Terry. The tide was very low so the shorebirds were far away. On the distant sandbars we saw Black-bellied Plovers and Western Sandpipers. A single Yellowlegs did come close to…

DNCB Outing No. 2022-26B to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway and Reifel Bird Sanctuary, June 29, 2022
Tsawwassen Causeway A cool and overcast yet rainless day is perfect for birding, and the proof was in the shorebirds we saw tucked away into the grassy mudflats next to Tsawwassen Causeway. Only six birders braved an early morning wake-up call to get here (Thea, Rosemary, Brian, Louis, Chris, and Margaretha) and we were rewarded…
