• DNCB Outing No. 2023-37A to Mt. Baker, Washington, on September 14, 2023

  Seven Delta Nats had gorgeous weather for an outing to Washington’s Mount Baker – Lidia, Joe, Terry, Stephanie, Colin, Lorna, Jim. After buying day passes for the vehicles at the Glacier Public Service Center, our first stop was Picture Lake. This is a great spot for reflections of Mount Shuksan and its glaciers. A short…

• 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. 2023-20A to Campbell Valley Regional Park, May 16, 2023

  Nine birders met at Campbell Valley Regional Park on a beautiful morning mercifully cooler than the last few days had been—John, Jacquie, Lee, Deems, Jonathan, Lorraine, Bob, Dottie and Lorna.  Robins and a Crow were about, and Mallards were in the water as we crossed the first bridge.  A Common Yellowthroat was heard by all…

• 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…

  Five birders met at Terra Nova Park in Richmond – John, Margaret, Mike, Lorna and Terry. Along the shore were Mallards, American Wigeon and Green-winged Teal. Robins and Red-winged Blackbirds were in the surrounding trees.

• 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…

  Fifteen birders met at Centennial Beach on a very chilly morning – Roger, Jonathan, Mike, Herb, David, Warren, Colin, Lorraine, Noreen, Lynne, Stephanie, Margaretha, Lindly, Anne and Terry. 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…

  With high-level clouds above the eastern horizon catching fire with the rising sun, it was hard not to feel like a bear emerging from hibernation after a long, gloomy winter. 14 Birders met in the King George parking lot at Serpentine Fen: Thea (yours truly), Brian & Louise, Colin & Stephanie, David & Noreen, Glen,…
