DNCB Outing No. 2021-52 to Centennial Beach, December 28, 2021
At 9am I seemed to be the only DNCBer in the Centennial Beach parking lot. It was a very cold minus 9 degrees. There was snow on the ground, and the sky had mixed sun and cloud. The trees around the parking lot were full of Eagles and Crows. After deciding that no one else…

Thirteen DNCBers enjoyed a cold, dry outing to the North 40 Park Reserve on 72nd St and the dyke at the end of 72nd St. The 13 were Warren, Lynne, Colin, Stephanie, Jonathan, Lorraine, Mike B1, John, Pat, Manli, Thea, Bryan D and Terry. The paved streets of the former military wireless station meant that…

DNCB Outing No. 2021-49B to Point Roberts, USA, December 8, 2021
An exciting trip for most of us. It is nearly two years since we have ventured into Point Roberts. Ten Casual Birders took the plunge with the border crossing and rediscovered Point Roberts. The ten were Brian and Louise, Chris, Glen, Colin and Stephanie, Lori and Hasan, Thea and Rosemary. The border entry was fine.…

DNCB Outing No. 2021-49A to Point Roberts, USA, December 7, 2021
Six of us gathered at the beach parking lot in front of Kiniski’s Reef Tavern just before 8 AM in a heavy mist with calm water that helped in the viewing (Nicki, Roger, Terry, Anne, David, and Noreen). A Great Blue Heron and single Glaucous-winged Gull were on the pilings, and numerous Canada Geese floated…

DNCB Outing No. 2021-48B to Centennial Beach, Boundary Bay Regional Park, December 2, 2021
As we were gathering in the parking area, Terry joined us from the pond area where he reported a hawk (possible Merlin) in the trees. We headed there, and the bird swooped closer revealing itself as a Peregrine Falcon. The group collected below this bird and got excellent looks with the Kowa scope before it…

DNCB Outing No. 2021-48A to Centennial Beach, Boundary Bay Regional Park, December 1, 2021
Nine of us gathered at Centennial Beach on a grey and breezy morning and headed for the little pond just south of the playground. This small, sheltered area was quite productive, with a Common Goldeneye, a couple of Buffleheads, and the usual Mallards. Blackbirds, both Brewer’s and Red-winged were flying around, and one poor little…

DNCB Outing No. 2021-47A to Brunswick Point & North 40/VWS, November 23, 2021
Twelve people met at Brunswick Point on Tuesday. It was clear but cold, and very windy with whitecaps on the river. The wind kept most birds hidden, but we did have some good sightings. A Merlin sped by the parking area. Several Northern Harriers were patrolling both sides of the dyke, and there were Eagles…

DNCB Outing No. 2021-46B to White Rock & Blackie Spit, November 17, 2021
Eleven of us met at the entrance to the WR Pier, and once we concurred that it was indeed 08:08, we headed out (some of us were a bit behind on our timing). There were lots of Surf & White-winged Scoters feeding close along the pilings, which provided very close viewing as they were regularly…
