• DNCB Outing No. 2023-11C to Victoria, March 16, 2023

  Only 2 birders – Lidia and I – went on a short-notice outing to Victoria to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibit at the Royal British Columbia Museum and to do some birding in Beacon Hill Park and at Clover Point. We took the 7am ferry over as foot passengers (free for seniors),

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-10B to Burnaby Lake, March 8, 2023

  Those of us from south of the Fraser were reminded again why we’re glad not to be commuting in to the city every day! But these 11 were all glad to be at Burnaby Lake today – David and Noreen, Warren and Lynn, Colin and Stephanie, Marion, Pat, Susan, Lindly and Glen. The sun was

  Twelve birders met at Burnaby Lake – Jacquie, Margaret, Bob, Dottie, Deems, Grant, Lorna, Lidia, Herb, Terry, Mike and Roger. Although we passed through showers on the drive, there was no rain in the park. In fact the sun came out as we walked the trails. Near the Nature House were Black-capped Chickadees, Song Sparrows,

  Six hearty souls started at the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal lookout at 08:00 (David, Noreen, Jonathan, Lorraine, Anne and Glen) where it was f-f-f-freezing and the tide was high. Anne’s cold fingers fed our sightings in to eBird for a total of 20 species, most at some distance out on the water. We were blanked on

  Five birders met at the Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway on a cold, sunny morning that was forecast to be rainy – Herb, Roger, Mike, Lorna and Terry. The tide was high and the water was rough. On the north spit were Double-crested Cormorants, Gulls, Brant Geese and Black Oystercatchers. In the water were Mallards, American Wigeon,

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-04B to White Rock Pier & Blackie Spit, January 25, 2023

  It was a foggy start to the morning with a light mist all around us. I put my hand up to be leader the night before as we were leaderless. I’ve done this occasionally before and it seemed easy. The team normally takes over. On this occasion, there were a couple of challenges – keeping

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-02B to Stanley Park, January 11, 2023

  Just before the designated time of 9 AM, six of us convened at the Second Beach perking lot. It took Noreen and I about 55 minutes from Tsawwassen, and I must admit I certainly would not relish doing this as a daily commute. The parking pay station was a challenge, as the LCD back-lighting was
