November 8 [Day 73] (Bill Wilson) Back on the ridge again the temperature ranged from 1C to 5C with W winds 20-30 km/h all day and generally 100% stratocumulus cloud cover that was occasionally broken. The Livingstone range to the north was enveloped in cloud all morning but gradually cleared after noon. It was another good day of raptor movement with 39 birds of 5 species migrating from 0821 when the first Bald Eagle went south to the last Golden Eagle at 1705, with 24 of the migrants moving between 1400 and 1700. A Sharp-shinned Hawk (juvenile) equaled the second latest record at the site, and with the exception of 1 juvenile Golden Eagle all the eagles of both species were adults. Passerine migrants were 6 Red-breasted Nuthatches, a season-high 200 Bohemian Waxwings, 40 Pine Grosbeaks, 3 White-winged Crossbills and 40 Common Redpolls. 10.75 (830.31) BAEA 11 (317), SSHA 1 (1452), NOGO 2 (235), RLHA 3 (82), GOEA 21 (4972), UU 1 (15) TOTAL 39 (7808)
