• Delta Naturalists Outing to Delta Nature Reserve, May 18, 2024

  PHOTO: Hairy Woodpecker (juvenile) by Grant Edwards….. Three Delta Nats (Nicki, Bruce and Grant) braved the not so nice weather.  After a half hour rain delay we were off on the adventure.  We were soon greeted by several singing Wilson’s Warblers, Yellow Warblers, Song Sparrows and Rufous Hummingbirds as the birds were equally relieved to

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-23B to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway & Reifel, June 7, 2023

  Ferry Causeway I was the only birder, casual or serious, at the ferry jetty this morning. The tide was high and some Black Oystercatchers were piping. Great Blue Herons flew into the marsh from the heronry, one by one, for the twenty minutes I was there. When I left, 25 were stood quietly on the

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-22A to UBC Botanical Garden, May 30, 2023

  Ten birders spent a pleasant morning wandering through the UBC Botanical Garden – Jonathan, Terry, Don, Lidia, Dottie, Bob, Lee, Lorna, Deems and Lorraine. As Lee said, the variety of plants and trees more than made up for the lack of birds seen. In fact, they were likely responsible for the lack of birds seen.

  “Hutton’s Vireo, Purple Finch, Western Tanager, Swainson’s Thrush, Black-headed Grosbeak, Chipping Sparrow, Hammond’s Flycatcher…” said the latest eBird checklists from Queen Elizabeth Park. And so, 12 birders arrived at our usual meeting point at the Pitch n’ Putt, practically salivating at the prospect of great springtime birding… only to encounter that a most eerie quiet

  Nine birders met at Campbell Valley Regional Park on a beautiful morning mercifully cooler than the last few days had been—John, Jacquie, Lee, Deems, Jonathan, Lorraine, Bob, Dottie and Lorna.  Robins and a Crow were about, and Mallards were in the water as we crossed the first bridge.  A Common Yellowthroat was heard by all

  Glen got to Joe Brown a few minutes before our 8am scheduled arrival and turned on Merlin Sound ID. In a few minutes it had identified 15 birds while just standing there at the entrance to the trail. But most of them were never seen as we walked through the park perhaps because all the

  Ten birders met at Joe Brown Park in Surrey on a lovely spring morning – Jacquie, Lidia, Dottie, Jonathan, Lindly, Lorraine, Terry, John, Lorna, Jim. All the new foliage made it difficult to see the birds. We heard some species that we did not see – including Pacific-slope Flycatcher and Black-throated Gray Warbler. nThe highlight
