September 25 [Day 30] Winds were W 20-30 km/h all day, with the temperature rising to a high of 11.5 from a morning low of 6C. Cloud cover was mainly cumulus all day ranging from 90-60% until 1800 when the skies quickly cleared to 10% cumulus. A disturbance that arrived at 1530 produced a series of showers moving from the west interspersed with periods of sunshine, characterised by magnificent rainbows, which persisted until 1710. Raptor movement started early with an adult Northern Goshawk moving south at 0753, and 4 Golden Eagles moved before 0900, with subsequent migration steady all day with birds even moving high to the south during the periods of afternoon showers. The last bird of the day was a Sharp-shinned Hawk at 1846, which was the 125th migrant of the day, the first 100+ count in 9 days. Golden Eagles moved steadily all day and the total of 45 is the highest count so far this season and was exceeded today only by the 47 Sharp-shinned Hawks. For the second day in a row 7 Peregrine Falcons (5 adults, 2 juveniles) moved south bringing the season’s total to 23, and the total of 6 Bald Eagles (4 adults and 2 subadults) was the highest so far this season. The most common passerine migrants were Red-breasted Nuthatch (33), American Robin (17), White-winged Crossbill (80) and Pine Siskin (119), but the highlight of the day was the sighting of two Grey-cheeked Thrushes, the 2nd and 3rd records for the site (and for the Crowsnest Pass area). The first was seen at 1010 by Doug Dolmen as he and Teresa were climbing the trail to the site, and I saw the second close to the site at 1208: it is very unlikely that they were the same bird. 12.25 hours (341.42) BAEA 6 (23), NOHA 3 (30), SSHA 47 (697), COHA 7 (155), NOGO 2 (57), UA 1 (26), RTHA 5 (111), GOEA 45 (245), AMKE 1 (17), MERL 1 (14), PEFA 7 (23) TOTAL 125 (1460)
