September 4 [Day 10] (Denise) I had to go to Calgary on short notice and unfortunately could not find anybody to do the first part of the day, but Denise observed for 6 hours in the afternoon. The temperature ranged from 6.5C to 8C with 50-90% cumulus cloud cover, but there was almost no wind which resulted in the passage of only 2 migrant raptors: the season's first Osprey at 1717 and a probable migrant Prairie Falcon. There were also very few passerines in evidence and the highlights of the afternoon proved to be 2 Moose and a Black Bear. 6 hours (105.25) OSPR 1 (1), PRFA 1 (2) TOTAL 2 (105)
