September 14 [Day 20] It was cloudless until after noon when variable amounts (5-70%) of cirrus cloud developed greatly assisting in the location of high flying raptors. The temperature ranged from 7.5C to 16.6C with the temperature remaining around 16C for the entire afternoon after 1300. winds were initially light to moderate NW up to 1300, then moderate W for the rest of the day, gradually increasing in velocity reaching gusts of 40 km/h by the evening. The first migrant raptor was not seen until 1150 but then the rush was on and when the last Golden Eagle moved south at 1857 we had counted 196 migrants of 12 species, both numbers being season highs. Season's single day highs were set for Sharp-shinned Hawk (119), Northern Goshawk (7, all juveniles) and Merlin (3), and the Golden Eagle number equaled the previous high with 7 of the 22 birds moving after 1800. One of the 7 Red-tailed Hawks was our first "Harlan's" Hawk of the season. The highest single hour count was 1600-1700 with 48 birds passing and it was thanks to Denise's assistance that I was (just) able to keep up with them as most were flying extremely high against a very patchy cirrus backdrop. Passerine movement was varied but generally numbers continue to drop. The highlight of the movement was our second Magnolia Warbler and the first Grey-crowned Rosy-Finches (2) of the season. Other migrants included 30 Mountain Chickadees, 71 Red-breasted Nuthatches, 40 Golden-crowned Kinglets, 15 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 3 Mountain Bluebirds, 2 Townsend's Solitaires, 13 American Robins, 2 American Pipits, 1 Orange-crowned Warbler, 17 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 3 Townsend's Warblers, 2 Wilson's Warblers, 6 Chipping Sparrows, 1White-crowned Sparrow, 7 Red and 39 White-winged Crossbills and 106 Pine Siskins. A "Yellow-shafted" Northern Flicker was also a first for the season. Not a bad day! 12.5 hours (220.17) OSPR 3 (4), BAEA 2 (7), NOHA 3 (18), SSHA 119 (383), COHA 23 (80), NOGO 7 (26), UA 4 (12), RTHA 7 (35), GOEA 22 (83), AMKE 1 (8), MERL 3 (7), PEFA 1 (4), PRFA 1 (3) TOTAL 196 (679)
