Delta Nature Casual Birders is a group of people who like watching birds, mostly around Boundary Bay and within the Fraser Delta. Anyone with a similar interest is welcome to join us. We usually meet once a week at Petra’s coffee shop in Tsawwassen, at 8.30 am for a 9.0 am departure and return about lunchtime. Tom Bearss, President of Delta Nature, organizes and leads the walks, and when he isn’t around we forget to go. What day we go depends on Tom and the democratic will of the group. To find out more, contact Tom.
Hi Tom,
Good website and blog. Now you can take my address off your list. I can read all about your trips by subscribing to the blog.
Good Birding!

Hi Tom,
I was out for an afternoon walk today about 1:30 PM on the Ladner dike
(access at the end of River Rd. by the Swenson farm) where a photographer alerted me to two Great Horned Owls in the “clump” of trees adjacent to the farm at the start of the trail. Apparently, someone (conservation officer?) had climbed an evergreen tree where the owls had presumably been roosting, and so the temporarily displaced owls perched on adjacent trees and observed the proceedings.
Just thought you may be interested….as I understand that Great Horned Owls are rarely seen.
Would love to see the DNCB on Twitter!
Best wishes.

Thanks Vida. Interesting observations and comments. This is a Banner Year for Snowy Owls at Boundary Bay. We also see Short-eared Owls there as well. The only place I have seen Great-horned Owls along the dike is at Brunswick Point. Cheers: Tom
Hi. I am new to Ladner and recently put out a hummingbird feeder. Me and my boys have been eagerly awaiting an appearance, but three weeks and not a sighting. Are there many hummingbirds in Ladner? I returned from the interior of bc recently and was amazed at all the hummingbirds visiting my parents feeder. Any suggestions? Oh, I did see one fly by today, hovered briefly by the patio (not near our feeder) then flew away!
