November 12 [Day 77] (Vance Mattson) It rained until 1115 and Vance watched from the parking area until 1000 when he climbed to the site. The wind was again W all day, 25-30 gusting 35 km/h until noon but then increased to 60-70 gusting 80 at 1400 before gradually declining to gusts of 40 km/h at 1700. The high temperature on the ridge was 2C and cloud cover was 100% stratus all day. The ridges to the west were obscured and only showed signs of partial clearing late in the day, while the peaks of the Livingstone Range to the north remained obscured until 1400 after which they partially cleared. In short it was another dismal day and the only migrant raptor seen was an adult Bald Eagle at 1136, and probable migrant passerines were limited to 10 Grey-crowned Rosy-Finches, 11 Pine Grosbeaks and 2 White-winged Crossbills. 9.75 hours (871.06) BAEA 1 (340) TOTAL 1 (7880)
