• DNCB Outing No. 2023-21B to Ladner Harbour Park and Ferry Road, May 24, 2023

  Eight of us met at Ladner Harbour Park at 8am: Brian and Louise, Marion, Lindly, Lorna, Glen, Colin and Stephanie. It’s that time of year when you can hear things in the trees – and if you’re good you can recognize them – but the leaves make viewing a real challenge. I don’t think anyone

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-19B to Joe Brown Park, May 10, 2023

  Glen got to Joe Brown a few minutes before our 8am scheduled arrival and turned on Merlin Sound ID. In a few minutes it had identified 15 birds while just standing there at the entrance to the trail. But most of them were never seen as we walked through the park perhaps because all the

• DNCB Outing No. 2023-19A to Joe Brown Park, May 9, 2023

  Ten birders met at Joe Brown Park in Surrey on a lovely spring morning – Jacquie, Lidia, Dottie, Jonathan, Lindly, Lorraine, Terry, John, Lorna, Jim. All the new foliage made it difficult to see the birds. We heard some species that we did not see – including Pacific-slope Flycatcher and Black-throated Gray Warbler. nThe highlight

• DNCB Outing No. 2022-38B to Iona Beach Regional Park, September 21, 2022

  On a glorious could-be summer morning, five DNCB’ers meet in the parking lot of Iona Beach Regional Park: Thea, Rosemary, Chris, Louise, and Roger M. There were meant to be 7, however, and we found out that an accident shortly before the George Massey tunnel delayed Lynne and Warren by well over an hour! They

• 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. 2022-30A to Maplewood Flats, July 26, 2022

  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
