• DNCB Outing 2015-2 to Iona Regional Park

  Twenty-five (WOW!) DNCBers braved the very foggy conditions on Tuesday and had a decent, not super, morning of birding at Iona Regional Park. Hi-lites were few although the White-fronted Geese and a Northern Shrike carrying prey were neat.  And lunch at the Flying beaver was a treat.  Check out photos by Liz, Glen, Terry, Jim
