PHOTO: Long-billed Dowitchers by Glen Bodie…… A great day for birding at Burnaby Lake – cool and mostly sunny – mist on the lake at the start and shedding layers by the end. Even some messy traffic congestion wasn’t enough to make too many of us too late for a 9am start. We were 15

Delta Naturalists Outing to Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway and Reifel, September 11, 2024
PHOTO: Red-necked Phalarope by Glen Bodie…. It was a very grey and damp morning, which is why only newbie Bryce, Chris and I showed up at the Tsawwassen jetty.
