• Delta Naturalists Outing to Tynehead Regional Park, March 20, 2024

  PHOTO: Serpentine River by Glen Bodie….. Richard and I had a nice walk around the Tynehead trails on Wednesday, starting from the Fish Hatchery parking lot. Maybe everyone else was put off by the forecast, but we had nice conditions – sure it was cloudy but nothing more than that. See our “group picture missing

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-47B to Terra Nova Rural Park, November 22, 2023

  After a real page-turner of a report from the Tuesday group, six Delta Nats—Thea, Rosemary, Richard, Glen, Louise, and Lidia—showed up at Terra Nova practically salivating at the prospect of a buffet of winter rarities, like Redpoll and Pine Grosbeak. The “partly sunny” part of the weather forecast was greatly embellished, and we found ourselves

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-18A to Queen Elizabeth Park, May 2, 2023

  Eight birders met at Queen Elizabeth Park on a cool morning that soon warmed up. We parked below the tennis courts on 37th Avenue to avoid the 4 dollar an hour parking fee. It was relatively quiet birdwise. We did see Bushits, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Wilson’s Warblers, Orange-crowned Warblers, Black-capped Chickadees, Song Sparrows, Anna’s Hummingbirds, Dark-eyed

  Twelve birders met at Burnaby Lake – Jacquie, Margaret, Bob, Dottie, Deems, Grant, Lorna, Lidia, Herb, Terry, Mike and Roger. Although we passed through showers on the drive, there was no rain in the park. In fact the sun came out as we walked the trails. Near the Nature House were Black-capped Chickadees, Song Sparrows,

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-02B to Stanley Park, January 11, 2023

  Just before the designated time of 9 AM, six of us convened at the Second Beach perking lot. It took Noreen and I about 55 minutes from Tsawwassen, and I must admit I certainly would not relish doing this as a daily commute. The parking pay station was a challenge, as the LCD back-lighting was

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-44B to Point Roberts, November 2, 2022

The windless day left the
