• DNCB Outing No. 2016-46 to Terra Nova, Richmond

  Photos posted at our DNCB Flickr site It started out with light rain so it was surprising to find 10 members huddled over their coffee in Petra’s this morning.  Leaving at 7:30, even using the HOV lane, the trip took a good 45 minutes to reach Terra Nova with the traffic  on the 99 backed

• DNCB Outing No. 2016-34 to Iona Regional Park

  Ten DNCBers spent a very enjoyable, but frustrating Wednesday morning at Iona Regional Park and the adjacent sewage ponds.  We saw lots of neat species, but we had a frustrating time trying to identify the different warblers, sandpipers, flycatchers and even sparrows.  Check out Glen’s photos on our new DNCB Flickr website, and help with
