• DNCB Outing No. 2016-34 to Iona Regional Park

  Ten DNCBers spent a very enjoyable, but frustrating Wednesday morning at Iona Regional Park and the adjacent sewage ponds.  We saw lots of neat species, but we had a frustrating time trying to identify the different warblers, sandpipers, flycatchers and even sparrows.  Check out Glen’s photos on our new DNCB Flickr website, and help with

• DNCB Outing No. 2016-22 to Surrey Bend Regional Park

  At about 8:30 on another great Wednesday morning, twenty two DNC Birding Brigaders began assembling in the parking lot of Surrey Bend Regional Park, a new destination – although some in the group had explored a gravel access track, now called the Pacific Trail, two years ago after an outing to neighbouring Barnston Island.  The park,

• DNCB Outing Report No. 2014-33 to Reifel

  Twenty-four DNCBers enjoyed another glorious Delta Wednesday morning at Reifel Bird Sanctuary. Hi-lites included: seeing our target bird Stilt Sandpipers and lots of inane chatter among an eclectic group of like-minded weirdoes.  Check out Ken’s, Tony’s and others’ photos (soon) on our DNCB Picasa site.
