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

DNCB Outing No. 2023-11A to DeBoville Slough & Blakeburn Lagoons, March 14, 2023
Seven birders met at DeBoville Slough in Coquitlam – Roger, Terry, Bob, Jacquie, Dottie, Mike and Lorna. Once again the predicted showers did not materialise, and we had a very pleasant walk along the slough, past blueberry fields to the Pitt River, on a cool dry morning. Up close and personal, right beside the parking

Note: DNCB Outing No. 2022-49A to Terra Nova was cancelled.Small but mighty, I think that’s all you can say of our group. It was cloudy but dry and calm all morning and the 3 of us – yes, three (3)! – Stephanie, Colin and Glen – enjoyed the walk and saw 25 species. The list

DNCB Outing No. 2022-45A to Ladner Harbour Park, November 8, 2022
Six DNCBers met at Ladner Harbour Park on a cold sunny morning – Glen, Dirk, John, Bryan DeB, Lorna and Terry. A light dusting of snow overnight covered the branches with snow. This made for a very scenic walk. Bird feeders at the caretaker’s house had attracted Anna’s Hummingbirds, Black-capped Chickadees and Downy Woodpeckers. The

DNCB Outing No. 2022-41B to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway, Reifel & Ladner, October 12, 2022
Thea asked me to write this report this week and she also said that she wouldn’t be at the Ferry Causeway. I showed up at the causeway just before 8. It was a beautiful morning with the unjust rising, the tide in and a very calm sea. It was also very lonely. There was one

DNCB Outing No. 40B to Burnaby Lake, October 5, 2022
Another aberrantly warm October morning dawned on Vancouver, enticing 13 birders to the ever-popular Burnaby Lake Regional Park: Brian, Louise, Gabriele, Margaretha, Glen, Jacquie, Kirsten, Lee, Margaret, Marion, Stephanie, and Thea and her guest, Catherine. Here, a 12,000-year-old glacial lake sprawls across 770 acres of land that, together with the surrounding deciduous and fir forests,
