November 7 [Day 72] (Denise Cocciolone-Amatto) Denise together with Dawn, Nel, Pat and Keith again watched from the base of the ridge at the Valley View site, where the temperature reached 10.5C from a low of 5.5C before falling to 4C at 1700. Ground winds were generally 5-10 km/h W-NW, occasionally reaching 15 km/h, and were probably light to light-moderate at the ridge level. Cloud cover was variable amounts of thin altostratus producing hazy sunshine. The earliest migrants were 2 Golden Eagles at 0932 but by 1200 only 2 more migrants had been tallied. In the afternoon, however, raptor movement was fairly steady with 30 of the day’s 46 migrants passing between 1300 and 1600. Both Bald Eagles (15) and Golden Eagles (21) moved fairly strongly, but the disadvantage of the valley-bottom site is reflected in a season high 7 unidentified eagles all of which moved high late in the day, 2 unidentified dark buteos and a large unidentified falcon. The last bird of the day at 1720 was an adult Bald Eagle which flew low enough to allow identification in the rapidly fading light. The only non-raptor migrants seen above the ridge were a single flock of 53 Canada Geese flying south at 1255. 9.75 hours (819.56) BAEA 15 (306), UB 2 (7), GOEA 21 (4951), UE 7 (19), UF 1 (3) TOTAL 46 (7769)
