November 13 [Day 78] (Denise Cocciolone-Amatto) Observation was from the Valley View site where the ground winds were light, initially W and then NW after 1400, but the ridge winds were W moderate to strong all day. The valley-bottom temperature ranged from 0C to 5C, and cloud cover was 30-100% altocumulus and altostratus with snow falling between 1200 and 1300. After three days of poor movement, there was a slow but steady raptor migration starting with a Golden Eagle at 0811 with 10 birds recorded before 1500 after which the pace increased peaking at 10 birds between 1600 and 1700, and the last Golden Eagle went south at 1707. Eight of the day’s 14 Golden Eagles moved between 1608 and 1643. A single flock of 10 migrating Canada Geese was recorded. 9.58 hours (880.64) BAEA 9 (349), RLHA 2 (88), GOEA 14 (5030), UE 2 (21) TOTAL 27 (7907)
