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. 2023-09B to Centennial Beach, March 1, 2023
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…

DNCB Outing No. 2023-07B to Serpentine Fen, February 15, 2023

DNCB Outing No. 2023-03B to Point Roberts, January 18, 2023
It was a damp and blustery morning for our birding trip to Point Roberts. Being Casual Birders, we gathered at the beach near Kiniski’s instead of the advertised spot. There was a vigorous wind and high waves, but the early morning rain had eased off. We managed to distinguish Buffleheads, Surf Scoters, Red-breasted Merganser and…

DNCB Outing No. 2023-01C to Centennial Beach, January 7, 2023
We may not have had the weather on our side for our first Saturday outing in many moons but in spite of the pendulous cloud-cover and, later, relentless rain, an impressive party of 22 birders gathered at Centennial Beach on the morning of January 7th. And for our bravery, we were treated to a rather…

DNCB Outing No. 2023-01B to Centennial Beach, January 4, 2023
Our group this morning was a companionable twelve: Glen, Lidia, Lindy, Warren and Lynne, Richard, Colin and Stephanie, David and Noreen, myself, and Bryan who joined us on the trail. We met at 9am at Boundary Bay regional park, a comparatively late start for our walk, but appropriate to the cool winter conditions. A group…

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. 2022-45C to Port Townsend, Washington, November 10, 2022
On Thursday November 10, Thea, Rosemary, Jonathan, Lorraine, Terry, Bryan, Janet, Estelle, and Lorna plunged south in the predawn gloom on a day trip to Port Townsend in the United States.
