  A small contingent of 6 (Pat, Manli, Lidia, Gabriel, Noreen & David) started at the parking lot and walked the road to the start of the Shirley Trail checking the slough for Roger’s Pied-billed Grebe from Tuesday that had been there as we drove in.  It was hidden, but Mallards, a Great Blue Heron, and

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-40B to Brunswick Point on October 6, 2021

  Despite a forecast of rain, our birding morning at Brunswick Point dawned fine. 14 participants turned up, more or less according to the sign-up list. Flocks of Snow Geese crowded the fields at the end of the road and more were seen in fields closer to the farm. After the walk, I contacted Sean Boyd,

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-29B to Joe Brown Park on July 21, 2021

  6 folks met at 8:00am at Joe Brown park—Mike B 2, Gabriel, Jean, David, Noreen, and I (Marion S.). We were later joined by Margaretha. We began on the woods trail from 125A, but it was eerily quiet. Perhaps the cool, cloudy and windy weather kept the birds in bed longer, but birdsong was scarce.

Later searches did  not produce the bird again. We were Jonathan and Lorraine with grand-daughter Melia, David and Noreen, newbie

  DNCB’s: I’m baaack! after 6 glorious weeks holidaying in Western Australia, with friends and relies.  Nine birders (Rick & Marg, Lorna, Roger, Terry, Anne, Hans-Ulf, Jimmy and me) enjoyed an almost sunny and raptor-filled Monday morning (Dec 13) at Reifel Bird Sanctuary and next door’s Alaksen Wildlife Refuge.  Our destination bird was the Yellow-breasted Chat
