Thirteen DNCBers walked Boundary Bay Dyke from 64th St to 72nd St – Jacquie, Lee, Anne, Glen, Dottie, Bob, Margaret, Lindly, Bryan, John, Colin, Stephanie and Terry. Although the forecast was for rain, we were pleasantly surprised to wake up to sunshine in Tsawwassen. But there was a bitterly cold wind which kept many of…

Twelve Delta Nats met at Brydon Lagoon in Langley – Lidia, John, Ontario Brian, Jacquie, Lee, Lindly, David, Noreen, Glen, Angela, Bryan D and Terry. We usually do this outing in early April while the Fawn Lilies and Trilliums are blooming in the adjacent Hi-Knoll Park. Two pairs of Hooded Mergansers could be seen on…

DNCB Outing No. 2022-13B to Deas Island Regional Park, March 30, 2022
Deas is one of my regular monthly birding spots, so I was excited to see what seasonal changes had occurred since my last visit on March 6. I arrived early at 7:45am and checked out the area near the rowing club. A very loud Bewick’s Wren sang its way to the top of a bush,…

DNCB Outing No. 2022-13A to Deas Island Regional Park, March 29, 2022
The day threatened fog and mixed clouds, but by mid morning it was sunny and warm enough that people were unzipping layers. The group of 12, then 13, then 14 started from the Bat House (Burr Villa) and inspected the river from the observation deck around the tower. We failed to find the very purple…

A lucky dozen turned up at Terra Nova in sunshine and with blue skies just before 08:00. These included Roger 2, Mike B2, Lidia, Gabriele, Margaretha, Marion, Terry, Jim K, Glen, Richard H., Noreen and I. Bryan DeB joined up with us later along Westminster Highway near the community gardens. We started off into the…

DNCB Outing No. 2022-11A to Terra Nova Regional Park, March 15, 2022
It had been “a dark and stormy night”, but the rain stopped by 8:00 AM when 11 enthusiastic birders gathered at the west parking lot of Terra Nova Park. This was the first outing since Daylight Saving Time, and there was a lot of grumbling about how it was really 7:00 AM. Participants were Roger,…

DNCB Outing No. 2021-46B to White Rock & Blackie Spit, November 17, 2021
Eleven of us met at the entrance to the WR Pier, and once we concurred that it was indeed 08:08, we headed out (some of us were a bit behind on our timing). There were lots of Surf & White-winged Scoters feeding close along the pilings, which provided very close viewing as they were regularly…

DNCB Outing No. 2021-43A to Boundary Bay Dyke at 104th on October 26, 2021
Eleven hardy souls gathered at 9 AM in the SE winds and hoped for the rain to hold off during our stroll along the dyke. Lidia had arrived earlier when there were still a few sandbars, but the low pressure combined with the SE wind had brought a “Storm Surge” high tide which had obliterated…

DNCB Outing No. 2021-42 to Iona Beach Regional Park on October 19, 2021
We had a beautiful morning for our DNCB trip to Iona. Even before I got out of my car, I was enjoying the sight of a Cooper’s Hawk sitting just a few metres away. Snow Geese were calling overhead and gathering on the shore as the tide went out and there were many Ring-billed and…
