November 24 [Day 89] (Joel Duncan and Denise Cocciolone-Amatto) The temperature at the Valley View site ranged from -2C to 8C at 1300 falling back to 0C at 1700, ground winds were generally W-SW 15-20 gusting 30 km/h and were moderate to strong at the ridge level, and cloud cover was altostratus, lenticular and cirrus typical of strong upper winds, generally 50-90% diminishing to 10% by 1700, producing good observing conditions. The first migrant Golden Eagle occurred at 0851 and by 1000 5 Golden Eagles had been logged, but the rest of the day only produced 4 more migrants with the last bird, an unaged Golden Eagle, passing at 1520. A single Evening Grosbeak was only the third bird of the season. 9 hours (985.22) BAEA 1 (423), RLHA 1 (94), GOEA 7 (5192) TOTAL 9 (8171)
