• DNCB Outing No. 2022-38A to Iona Beach Regional Park, September 20, 2022

  Six DNCBers met at Iona Beach Regional Park in Richmond – Kirsten, Anne, David, John, Lorna and Terry. The tunnel traffic was fairly good, but north of the tunnel the traffic was very slow. And then there was construction on Ferguson Road. A Cooper’s Hawk made a brief appearance by the parking lot. The tide

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-37B to Boundary Bay Dyke from 104th to 96th, September 14, 2022

  With a rising tide and a 12 foot High for 09:12 at Crescent Beach, the group gathered before 8 AM to catch the shorebirds moving inshore.  There were lots of Western Sandpipers closer in and Black-bellied Plovers a bit farther out with some Sanderling along the tide edge.  Without a scope the identification of the

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-22B to Campbell Valley Regional Park, June 1, 2022

  On what has felt like the warmest day of the year, at a positively sweltering 21°C, an impressive 16 DNCB members met in the northern parking lot of the Campbell Valley Regional Park: Brian, Louise, Colin, Stephanie, Margaretha, Gabriele, Marion, Jim, Glen, Chris, Warren, Lynne, Nicki, Rayme, Rosemary, and yours truly, The Keeper Of The

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-21A to UBC Botanical Garden, May 25, 2022

  It was rumors of Jaegers and Ospreys that lured 7 birders through peak morning traffic to the UBC look-out on Old Marine Drive.  And while such rare treasures were never found, the sheer abundance of passerine species seen and heard more than compensated.  The birders present were Margaret, Margaretha, Gabriele, Glen, Stephanie, yours truly, and

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-20C to Queen Elizabeth Park, May 19, 2022

  With the rain drumming down and the wind howling in the Douglas Firs outside my apartment, we made the call on Wednesday morning to cancel our bird trip, and thank goodness we did because today’s outing to Queen Elizabeth gardens was a smorgasbord of sunshine, warblers, and flycatchers! Gabriele, Margaretha, Marion, Glen, Kirsten, and I

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-19B to North 40 Park Reserve, May 11, 2022

  It was a relatively small group of birders that showed up at North 40 Park Reserve on this warm, spring morning. They were Margarita, Gabriele, Colin, Stephanie, Roger, and Thea (your intrepid albeit clueless leader). The sun was valiantly competing against the clouds, and I had to shed two layers before we struck out; a

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-19A to North 40 Park Reserve, May 10, 2022

  The North 40 Park Reserve was a great place to be on Tuesday morning, May 10, and I know 12 people who will agree with me: Terry, Lorna, Mike B1, Roger K, Lee, Jacquie, Dottie, Lindly, Johnny Mac, Bryan, Dirk and Sean. It seemed to threaten rain at the start, but by the end it

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-18B to Joe Brown Park, May 4, 2022

  The seasonal weather continued its epic sulk over much of the Fraser River Delta as nine birders arrived at the lushly-forested Joe Brown Park in Surrey.  They were Marion, Gabriele, Rosemary (mother dearest), Margaretha, Mike—who had brought along Sean (a birding enthusiast) who had only just arrived from the UK—and, finally, Colin and Stephanie, who

  11 Birders met at Queen Elizabeth Park on a chilly but sunny spring morning, eager to explore the season’s first offerings of warblers and other spring and summer visitors.  Glen, Brian, Louise, Gabriele, Marion, Rosemary, and yours truly met in the rose gardens, where White-crowned Sparrows, Golden-crowned Sparrows, and Dark-eyed Juncos stalked the lawns and flitted in

  Eleven DNCBers met at Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver – Kirsten, Jacquie, Lee, Dottie, Bob, Lidia, Mike, Lorna, Lori, Bryan D and Terry.  The previous evening forecast was for morning showers, so we were pleasantly surprised to have a dry but chilly morning.  Most of us took advantage of the free parking below the tennis
