• Birding Outing to Point Roberts, USA with Delta Naturalists on January 16, 2024: Seabirds and a Sapsucker

  PHOTO: Harlequin Ducks by Terry Carr……. It was a hardy group of birders who met at Point Roberts this morning. The temperature was hovering down in the minus numbers, the ground was frozen, and even the fairly gentle wind off the ocean was enough to give finger-numbing wind chill. Some of us called in at Kiniski’s beach,
