• DNCB Outing No. 2022-11A to Terra Nova Regional Park, March 15, 2022

  It had been “a dark and stormy night”, but the rain stopped by 8:00 AM when 11 enthusiastic birders gathered at the west parking lot of Terra Nova Park.  This was the first outing since Daylight Saving Time, and there was a lot of grumbling about how it was really 7:00 AM.  Participants were Roger,

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-7A to Serpentine Fen, February 15, 2022

  There were twelve of us who met at the parking area next to King George Highway. This parking feels a lot safer than the original park parking lot that was plagued with break-ins and damage to cars. The twelve were: Chris, Mike B, Lorna, Jim, Roger, Pat, Richard, Lindly, and the four regulars from White
