• DNCB Outing No. 2023-36B to Blackie Spit, September 6, 2023

  Eight Casual Birders met at Blackie Spit carpark: regulars, Brian and Louise, Johnnie Mac, Colin and Stephanie, Marion, me, and newbie Christine. The weather didn’t look too promising – grey with a threat of rain – but we set off along the spit looking for pipits and other interesting fall migrants. We blanked on the…

  Eleven birders met at Blackie Spit – Terry, Lorna, Lidia, Dottie, Jacquie, Bob, Lee, Brian R, Jim, Mike and Chris (not in photo). The tide and birds were far away – herons, ducks, gulls and shorebirds. On the spit were American Pipits and Savannah Sparrows. A Pileated Woodpecker flew past the parking area. Chris found…

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-20A to Campbell Valley Regional Park, May 16, 2023

  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…

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-19B to Joe Brown Park, May 10, 2023

  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…

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-19A to Joe Brown Park, May 9, 2023

  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…

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-18B to Queen Elizabeth Park, May 3, 2023

  18 eyeballs and 18 ears (of various degrees of acuity) did their best to find the birds hiding in Queen Elizabeth Park on this warm sunny day – but it was a challenge. It was probably half-and-half between eyeballs and ears with some help for the latter from Merlin. Those doing the searching were Brian…

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-18A to Queen Elizabeth Park, May 2, 2023

  Eight birders met at Queen Elizabeth Park on a cool morning that soon warmed up. We parked below the tennis courts on 37th Avenue to avoid the 4 dollar an hour parking fee. It was relatively quiet birdwise. We did see Bushits, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Wilson’s Warblers, Orange-crowned Warblers, Black-capped Chickadees, Song Sparrows, Anna’s Hummingbirds, Dark-eyed…

  Six DNCBers met at Iona Beach Regional Park in Richmond – Kirsten, Anne, David, John, Lorna and Terry. The tunnel traffic was fairly good, but north of the tunnel the traffic was very slow. And then there was construction on Ferguson Road. A Cooper’s Hawk made a brief appearance by the parking lot. The tide…

  With a rising tide and a 12 foot High for 09:12 at Crescent Beach, the group gathered before 8 AM to catch the shorebirds moving inshore.  There were lots of Western Sandpipers closer in and Black-bellied Plovers a bit farther out with some Sanderling along the tide edge.  Without a scope the identification of the…
