October 27 [Day 62] (Denise Cocciolone-Amatto) It was a very pleasant day with the temperature rising to 11C from a low of -2C, W and occasionally SW winds all day in the range of 20-25 km/h, gusting briefly to 45 km/h around 1300, and clear skies initially with gradually developing altostratus and cirrus cloud that reached 90% by mid afternoon before diminishing to 5-30% for the rest of the day. There was again a good variety of raptors seen with 8 species moving between the first Rough-legged Hawk at 0850 and the last Golden Eagle at 1820. Migration was initially slow but picked up significantly in the afternoon with 59 of the day’s 86 migrants moving after 1400. Golden Eagles (58) still dominate the movement but significant numbers of Sharp-shinned Hawks (9) are still going south and a juvenile Northern Harrier was a fairly late bird. Once again most of the passerine migration was early in the morning and comprised 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch, 2 American Robins, 160 Grey-crowned Rosy-Finches, 16 Pine Grosbeaks and 39 White-winged Crossbills. 11.33 (713.33) BAEA 8 (201), NOHA 1 (49), SSHA 9 (1444), COHA 1 (235), NOGO 4 (211), UA 1 (57), RLHA 2 (68), GOEA 58 (4588), UE 1 (7), MERL 1 (32) TOTAL 86 (7237)
