• DNCB Outing to Colebrook Park, July 27, 2022

  The 2022-30B Outing to Maplewood Flats was cancelled, so a few DNCB members arranged to meet for an “unofficial” Outing to new destination Colebrook Park in Surrey. 7 keen birders (Johnny Mac, Ken And Anne, Gabriele, Marion, Colin and Stephanie) met at 8:00am and although we took our time, we were finished and on the

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-30A to Maplewood Flats, July 26, 2022

  Only 7 DNCBers braved the heat and the traffic to visit Maplewood Flats: David, Noreen, Lidia, Margaret, Kirsten, Richard and Glen. That somewhat minimized the chat fest and gave the birds the opportunity to come out and be seen. But it seems most of them were also avoiding the heat. Our walk started with some

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-29A to Joe Brown Park, July 19, 2022

  An excellent outing to Joe Brown Park. The biggest challenge was parking – we took over all the space along the side of 125A Street right to the bottom of the hill. There were 16 of us with almost no carpooling – Ken and Anne were back! and Jean too! plus Angela, Ontario Brian, Gabriele,

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-22B to Campbell Valley Regional Park, June 1, 2022

  On what has felt like the warmest day of the year, at a positively sweltering 21°C, an impressive 16 DNCB members met in the northern parking lot of the Campbell Valley Regional Park: Brian, Louise, Colin, Stephanie, Margaretha, Gabriele, Marion, Jim, Glen, Chris, Warren, Lynne, Nicki, Rayme, Rosemary, and yours truly, The Keeper Of The

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-21B to UBC Botanical Garden, May 26, 2022

  Eight birders met at the Viewpoint on Old Marine Drive below the UBC Botanical Garden – Debbi, Lorna, Janet, Susan, Lee, Jacquie with her Italian visitor Fio from Genova, and Terry. On the river below and flying above, were Canada Geese, Gulls, noisy Caspian Terns, Eagles, Cormorants, Swallows, Crows and a Raven. In the foliage

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-21A to UBC Botanical Garden, May 25, 2022

  It was rumors of Jaegers and Ospreys that lured 7 birders through peak morning traffic to the UBC look-out on Old Marine Drive.  And while such rare treasures were never found, the sheer abundance of passerine species seen and heard more than compensated.  The birders present were Margaret, Margaretha, Gabriele, Glen, Stephanie, yours truly, and

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-19B to North 40 Park Reserve, May 11, 2022

  It was a relatively small group of birders that showed up at North 40 Park Reserve on this warm, spring morning. They were Margarita, Gabriele, Colin, Stephanie, Roger, and Thea (your intrepid albeit clueless leader). The sun was valiantly competing against the clouds, and I had to shed two layers before we struck out; a

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-18B to Joe Brown Park, May 4, 2022

  The seasonal weather continued its epic sulk over much of the Fraser River Delta as nine birders arrived at the lushly-forested Joe Brown Park in Surrey.  They were Marion, Gabriele, Rosemary (mother dearest), Margaretha, Mike—who had brought along Sean (a birding enthusiast) who had only just arrived from the UK—and, finally, Colin and Stephanie, who

• DNCB Outing No. 2021-29B to Joe Brown Park on July 21, 2021

  6 folks met at 8:00am at Joe Brown park—Mike B 2, Gabriel, Jean, David, Noreen, and I (Marion S.). We were later joined by Margaretha. We began on the woods trail from 125A, but it was eerily quiet. Perhaps the cool, cloudy and windy weather kept the birds in bed longer, but birdsong was scarce.

  There were 9 people on Tuesday – Liz, Roger, Mike, Jim, Glen, Pat, Johnny Mac, Kirsten, Terry. We walked through Joe Brown Park and down the Surrey Delta Greenway to Colebrook Road and back. Highlights were Black-headed Grosbeaks, Willow Flycatchers, Swainson’s Thrush, Barred Owl and wildflowers. On Monday the Barred Owl was seen near the
