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…

Ten birders met at Joe Brown Park in Surrey on a lovely spring morning – Jacquie, Lidia, Dottie, Jonathan, Lindly, Lorraine, Terry, John, Lorna, Jim.

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. 2022-29A to Joe Brown Park, July 19, 2022
An excellent outing to Joe Brown Park. The biggest challenge was parking – we took over all the space along the side of 125A Street right to the bottom of the hill. There were 16 of us with almost no carpooling – Ken and Anne were back! and Jean too! plus Angela, Ontario Brian, Gabriele,…

DNCB Outing No. 2022-18B to Joe Brown Park, May 4, 2022
The seasonal weather continued its epic sulk over much of the Fraser River Delta as nine birders arrived at the lushly-forested Joe Brown Park in Surrey. They were Marion, Gabriele, Rosemary (mother dearest), Margaretha, Mike—who had brought along Sean (a birding enthusiast) who had only just arrived from the UK—and, finally, Colin and Stephanie, who…
