DNCB Outing No. 2022-13B to Deas Island Regional Park, March 30, 2022
Deas is one of my regular monthly birding spots, so I was excited to see what seasonal changes had occurred since my last visit on March 6. I arrived early at 7:45am and checked out the area near the rowing club. A very loud Bewick’s Wren sang its way to the top of a bush,…

The day threatened fog and mixed clouds, but by mid morning it was sunny and warm enough that people were unzipping layers.

Several Bald Eagles were keeping watch from the trees.…

The sky was pregnant with the promise of rain (and actual rain) when seven brave, weather-defiant birders arrived at Blackie Spit – Brian, Louise, Jonathan, Lorraine, Margaret, Terry, and Thea. And right when I was doubting my decision to drive 40 minutes only to spend three hours in the rain, I spotted a flotilla of…
