  Five Delta Nats met in the Tsawwassen ferry terminal for the 7am ferry to Swartz Bay – Lidia, Margaret, Lee, Lorna and Terry. From the windows on the walkway to the passenger waiting room we saw several very cute gull chicks on the roof. From the ferry we could not see the Brown Pelicans that

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-28B to Joe Brown Park, July 12, 2023

  Fifteen went in and nine came out. The fifteen was a large crowd of cats that needed herding: Dottie and Bob, Chris, Jacquie, Jean, Johnny Mac, Lee, Lidia, Liz, Margaret, Mike, Nick, Roger, Stephanie and Glen. Six of those found other ways and times to leave Joe Brown and the nine didn’t see them as

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-23A to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway & Reifel, June 6, 2023

  Five birders met on the ferry causeway on a very windy morning. There were Eagles, Herons, gulls and Oystercatchers, but the other birds were sheltering somewhere else. We stopped at the heronry near the beginning of the causeway. Many herons were on nests, many more were flying in or out, and eagles were soaring above.

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-21A to Ladner Harbour Park, May 23, 2023

  Four birders met on a cloudy, cool morning in the Ladner Harbour Park parking lot – Jack, Roger, Jonathan and Lorraine. We were serenaded by throngs of Robins and Song Sparrows. After about a ten minute wait to see if any other Nats appeared, we set off. Our first stop was the bird feeders in

• 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. 2023-18B 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. 2023-16A to Point Roberts, April 18, 2023

  One intrepid birder appeared at Lighthouse Marine Park, Point Roberts, this morning, for what turned out to be a solo birding expedition. The wind blew in from the SE, raising troughs of white caps, and any bird heading towards Boundary Bay was pressed hard to keep going.  Double-crested and Pelagic Cormorants still managed to gracefully
