• Delta Naturalists Outing to Joe Brown Park, April 20, 2024

  PHOTO: Varied Thrush by Grant Edwards….. Another fine spring day greeted the crew for the day as we embarked on an outing to Joe Brown Park in Surrey.  I consider this park a bit of a hidden gem in the city, as it’s never that busy and you can usually have a respectable bird outing. …

  PHOTO: Long-billed Dowitchers by Glen Bodie…… It didn’t matter that some snow was falling in Tsawwassen … we were going to Burnaby! It looked cold but actually felt warmer than the thermometer said, and the sun came in and out all morning. Lorna, Lindly, Brian and Glen did our normal route, and we were lucky…

  Eleven birders met at Blackie Spit – Terry, Lorna, Lidia, Dottie, Jacquie, Bob, Lee, Brian R, Jim, Mike and Chris (not in photo). The tide and birds were far away – herons, ducks, gulls and shorebirds. On the spit were American Pipits and Savannah Sparrows. A Pileated Woodpecker flew past the parking area. Chris found…

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-02B to Stanley Park, January 11, 2023

  Just before the designated time of 9 AM, six of us convened at the Second Beach perking lot. It took Noreen and I about 55 minutes from Tsawwassen, and I must admit I certainly would not relish doing this as a daily commute. The parking pay station was a challenge, as the LCD back-lighting was…

• DNCB Outing to Colebrook Park, July 27, 2022

  The 2022-30B Outing to Maplewood Flats was cancelled, so a few DNCB members arranged to meet for an “unofficial” Outing to new destination Colebrook Park in Surrey. 7 keen birders (Johnny Mac, Ken And Anne, Gabriele, Marion, Colin and Stephanie) met at 8:00am and although we took our time, we were finished and on the…

• 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…
