Our group this morning was a companionable twelve: Glen, Lidia, Lindy, Warren and Lynne, Richard, Colin and Stephanie, David and Noreen, myself, and Bryan who joined us on the trail.

DNCB Outing No. 2022-41B to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway, Reifel & Ladner, October 12, 2022
Thea asked me to write this report this week and she also said that she wouldn’t be at the Ferry Causeway. I showed up at the causeway just before 8. It was a beautiful morning with the unjust rising, the tide in and a very calm sea. It was also very lonely. There was one

With a weather forecast predicting heavy, continuous rain, and an atmospheric river descending on the delta, the few Casual Birders who had signed up for today’s walk all bailed out, except for me. Luckily, the malingerers all politely communicated their non-appearance prior to the planned meeting time, so I did not bother hanging around in

DNCB Outing No. 2021-48B to Centennial Beach, Boundary Bay Regional Park, December 2, 2021
As we were gathering in the parking area, Terry joined us from the pond area where he reported a hawk (possible Merlin) in the trees. We headed there, and the bird swooped closer revealing itself as a Peregrine Falcon. The group collected below this bird and got excellent looks with the Kowa scope before it
