It was a beautiful, sunny Wednesday morning, so sixteen birders (some new, some old, too many to name all, but newbies were Al and Julie and sophomore attendee “young-eyes” Christie) enjoyed a very pleasant outing through the Tsawwassen First Nations (TFN) Reserve, Alaksen National Wildlife Area (NWA) and then a few hours wandering through our…
