  PHOTO: Picture Lake by Terry Carr…. Five Delta Nats made the annual trek to Mount Baker, Washington, on a gorgeous day without a cloud in the sky – Joe, Margaret, Dottie, Bob, Terry. This is not a particularly birdy destination, but the scenery is spectacular. There was no wait at the border in either direction.

  More photos at our DNCB Flickr site Ten DNCBers had an exciting Wednesday on our annual September climb of Mt. Baker in Washington State. It was “smokey” from the forest fires, but the vistas, wildflowers, some neat bird species, and the usual almost-interesting conversations made for a very enjoyable outing.  Check out the vivid photo
