• DNCB Outing No. 2012-51 72nd Street Boundary Bay

  As usual with a local outing, the group of  ten birding enthusiasts met at Petra’s to decide on the day’s destination.  If not for Sheila’s decision-making we would probably still be sitting there… “72nd it is” she says, and off we went.  The group of ten included Ken and Anne A, Jane, Kay, Terry, Mike, Sheila, Marion, the

• DNCB Outing No. 2012-50 1. 72nd St. 2. Reifel Is via Ferry Terminal

  Due to extremely complicated circumstances, there are two parts to today’s outing (actually, just trying to avoid making myself look bad having initially cancelled the outing despite Lorna’s protestations… you were right Lorna, sorry!) Version 1 summary (Marion and Marti) Three stalwart birders, Lorna, Marion S. and Marti, left Petra’s around 9:20 a.m.  Roger and

• DNCB Outing No. 2012-49 to 72 Street dyke & Reifel

  When nine regular DNCBs (Lorna, Marion S, Kay, Sheila, Mike B, Terry, Janet & Bryan, & Ken) met at Petra’s Café, designated leader Lorna’s first job was to assign Terry as trip leader and Ken as Blogmaster, thereby freeing herself for the important business of spotting birds.  Highlights from the dyke at the end of

• DNCB Outing No: 2012-48 From Beach Grove Lagoon to 104th Street

  With a beautiful sunny morning it was no surprise that  there was an 800% increase in members turning out over last week’s dismal performance.  Eight of us, Lorna, Mike, Marion, Brian and Janet, Gerhard, Terry, and Roger, left Petra’s for the foot of 12th Ave to survey  the lagoon.  Right away, in the parking lot,

• DNCB Outing No. 2011-48 White Rock Pier/Blackie Spit/72nd

  Even with a cold morning we had a large turnout at Petra’s.  Without our leader, Tom (we had fun coming up with imaginative excuses he may have had for abandoning us…we won’t print Hans’s winner), we decided to drive directly to the White Rock pier hoping to see a variety of sea birds.  Those taking

• DNCB Outing No. 2011-47 to 64th and 72nd Streets on the Dike

  Seven Casual Birders (Hans, Roger, Mike, Jonathan & Lorraine, Terry and me; Kay apparently cannot tell time so she missed us and birded alone at Boundary Bay Park) enjoyed a beautiful, sunny Monday morning along the Boundary Bay dike path at 64th and 72nd Streets. It was a banner morning for up-close-and-personal looks at several

  Nine participants (Roger & Mike, Rick & Marg, Hans & Gerhard, Alan & Lorna and me) enjoyed a gorgeous Wednesday morning along the Boundary Bay dike path between 104th and 88th Streets.  Hi-lites were a Western Tanager, Peregrine Falcons, a “white-winged” Crow, lots of “distant” Shorebirds, and the Plum and Blackberry Lunch at the North

  Eight participants (Roger, Lorna, Anne, Hans-Ulf, Mike, Eleanor, Jimmy and me – names mentioned at our Guru Anne’s request because we forgot the obligatory Group photo) enjoyed a very comfortable morning of birding along the Boundary Bay dike and at the old Wireless Station (aka North 40) behind Boundary Bay Airport.  Hi-lites of the outing

  Lorna and I spent another miserable Monday morning birding near the dike around Boundary Bay at 72nd and 64th Streets.  The rain pis.ed down and the wind was colder than a witch’s t.t  (Excuse my language, but I hope you get my point).  Hi-lites were a Peregrine Falcon, pair of Hooded Mergansers and Lorna’s peanut

• Tom’s Report on Casual Birding outing #60

  We were seven today (Valerie, Anne, Don & Rochelle, John sans Kay, Hans-Ulf and me) on a rainy morning, but it turned warmer and dryer as the morning progressed.  Our first stop was Kings Links Golf Course (where I “work”) on 72nd Street at the Bay.  The ponds did not have a large number of
