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

DNCB Outing No. 2023-15A to North 40 Park Reserve, April 11, 2023
Three painfully optimistic birders, Bob, Dottie and Lee, left White Rock in the pouring rain, arriving at the North 40 Park Reserve just in time for the rain to end. It was cloudy, chill and damp, and absent any other birders we could find. Croaks sounded from the water-filled ditches, likely bullfrogs, but a rabbit

DNCB Outing No. 2023-11B to DeBoville Slough, March 15, 2023
It was a small group today – Warren and Lynne, Colin and Stephanie, Richard, Lidia and Glen – which I am sure accounts for the small number of birds we saw. You can see the eBird list in the link below with only 20 species. Some of us had trouble finding the trailhead with an

Up close and personal, right beside the parking

The outing had been changed from Burnaby Lake because of Tuesday’s snowfall. Tsawwassen escaped most of the snow so the paths were clear. In the parking lot
