• DNCB Outing No. 2022-02B to Centennial Beach, Boundary Bay Regional Park, January 12, 2022

  With a weather forecast predicting heavy, continuous rain, and an atmospheric river descending on the delta, the few Casual Birders who had signed up for today’s walk all bailed out, except for me.

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-46A to White Rock & Blackie Spit, November 16, 2021

  A dozen or so Casual Birders gathered at White Rock pier in our usual casual way, but were flummoxed when faced with barriers and tape across the pier entrance!  Concerns over last night’s big windstorm had caused the closure, but this morning we were enjoying sunshine and blue skies.  We quickly adapted our route to

• DNCB Outing No. 2020-10 to Iona Regional Park

  It was a cold and windy Tuesday morning, but twenty-two DNCBers enjoyed a productive and fun outing wandering the trails of Iona Regional Park (IRP) and the Sewage Lagoons next door.  You can check out the brilliant photo evidence on our DNCB Flickr site. Some car-pooled from Petra’s at 7:30 am, others drove directly from
