Only 7 DNCBers braved the heat and the traffic to visit Maplewood Flats: David, Noreen, Lidia, Margaret, Kirsten, Richard and Glen. That somewhat minimized the chat fest and gave the birds the opportunity to come out and be seen. But it seems most of them were also avoiding the heat. Our walk started with some…

Tsawwassen Causeway A cool and overcast yet rainless day is perfect for birding, and the proof was in the shorebirds we saw tucked away into the grassy mudflats next to Tsawwassen Causeway.

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…
