November 10 [Day 75] (Joel Duncan) It was a difficult day with the temperature only ranging from 0C to 2C, strong WSW to W winds all day gusting to 100 km/h after 1000 and cirrostratus, altostratus cloud that lowered and thickened throughout the day from 30% to 80%. The ridges to the west were more or less obscured all day, but the Livingstone Range to the north remained clear despite light snow developing at 1700. At 1000 the wind blew the day’s data sheets high to the east (they are probably now in Saskatchewan!) and on two other occasions the telescope and tripod were blown over, but 10 hours of observation yielded only 1 non-migratory Prairie Falcon that flew north past the site at 1402. Passerines were somewhat more in evidence and included 3 Red-breasted Nuthatches, 2 Golden-crowned Kinglets, 63 Grey-crowned Rosy-Finches (the first record of the species in 7 days), 20 Pine Grosbeaks, 3 Red Crossbills and 10 Common Redpolls. 10 hours (851.06) No migrant raptors TOTAL 0 (7873)
