November 9 [Day 74] (Bill Wilson) The temperature rose to 5C from a low of 1C at 0800 and fell back to 2C at 1700, winds were WNW to W generally 20-30 gusting 40 km/h, and cloud was a mixture of altostratus, cirrus and cumulus starting at 10%, increasing to 90% before clearing to 10% at 1700 providing mostly good observation conditions throughout the day. It was an excellent late-season raptor movement with 65 migrants moving fairly steadily all day between the first Rough-legged Hawk at 0727 and the last Bald Eagle at 1707. The 21 Bald Eagles (16 adults, 4 subadults and 1 juvenile) was the 3rd highest total of the season, and the 39 Golden Eagles (36 adults, 3 juveniles) brought the season’s total above 5000 for just the second time ever at any count and 11 days later than last year. The season’s Golden Eagle count is now 283 behind that of last year at this time, although the combined species count is just 12 lower than last year. The only other raptors recorded were a single adult Northern Goshawk and 4 Rough-legged Hawks. Passerine migrants included 3 Red-breasted Nuthatches, a season-high 340 Bohemian Waxwings, 22 Pine Grosbeaks, 3 White-winged Crossbills and 40 Common Redpolls. 10.75 hours (841.06) BAEA 21 (337), NOGO 1 (236), RLHA 4 (86), GOEA 39 (5011) TOTAL 65 (7873)
