• DNCB Outing No. 2022-7A to Serpentine Fen, February 15, 2022

  There were twelve of us who met at the parking area next to King George Highway. This parking feels a lot safer than the original park parking lot that was plagued with break-ins and damage to cars. The twelve were: Chris, Mike B, Lorna, Jim, Roger, Pat, Richard, Lindly, and the four regulars from White

  It was -3 degrees C with snow forecast, but a handful of the group assembled at 8am at the ferry jetty. The sky was overcast, the tide very high, and very few birds were on the water. The most interesting observation was the large group of Black Oystercatchers that had roosted on the gravel spit.

• 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

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-47B to Brunswick Point, November 24, 2021

  I arrived punctually at 8am, and Noreen and David were parked a few minutes later. After deciding we must be the only birders today, we set off along the trail around Brunswick Point. Golden-crowned Sparrows were hopping around the soil piles on the farmland edge, and the first of many Song Sparrows made itself visible.

  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
