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.
