DNCB Outing No. 2023-24B to Colony Farm, June 14, 2023
There were only supposed to be 3 of us there: Marion, Lindly and Glen. At 08:00 we called Lindly to check and she had thought it would be bad weather so decided last night not to come. We told her it was looking pretty good – overcast but dry enough – so she said she

DNCB Outing No. 2023-21B to Ladner Harbour Park and Ferry Road, May 24, 2023
Eight of us met at Ladner Harbour Park at 8am: Brian and Louise, Marion, Lindly, Lorna, Glen, Colin and Stephanie. It’s that time of year when you can hear things in the trees – and if you’re good you can recognize them – but the leaves make viewing a real challenge. I don’t think anyone

DNCB Outing No. 2022-33B to Terra Nova Regional Park, August 17, 2022
I arrived 15 minutes early at the northernmost point of Westminster Road, where I began scanning the verdant reeds for signs of birds. There were adult and juvenile Glaucous-winged gulls patrolling the distant shore and flocks of wheeling and diving Barn Swallows, whose deep swallow-tails and rufous breasts I could just make out in the

DNCB Outing No. 2022-33A to Terra Nova Regional Park, August 16, 2022
Seventeen members had signed up for our walk this morning, and all but a few showed up. Being a little vague, I never got the exact number (14?). We had just got ourselves together in the carpark beside the river when a young Cooper’s Hawk made a dashing appearance, accompanied by some raucous crows. They

DNCB Outing No. 2022-31A to Campbell Valley Regional Park, August 2, 2022

The birds were fairly few and far between, but there were some interesting bugs and

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
