November 11 [Day 76] (Vance Mattson) It was yet another horrendous day of strong W winds that were 60-80 gusting 90 km/h for most of the day, with temperatures that ranged from -3C to a brief high of -1C at 1400. Cloud cover was 100% altostratus with minor cumulus until noon after which it gradually diminished to 60% at 1700. Again the ridges to the W were partially obscured all day but the Livingstone Range to the N remained clear with the exception of 1400-1500 when a period of snow obscured everything, but light flurries were experienced throughout the day. Despite the conditions there was some raptor movement with the day’s only Bald Eagle moving at 0843 and 2 Golden Eagles just before 1000 gave hope for a reasonable day, but only 3 more Golden Eagles were seen, the last at 1537. All the day’s eagles were adults. Passerines included 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch, 14 Grey-crowned Rosy-Finches, 16 Pine Grosbeaks, 2 White-winged Crossbills and 1 Common Redpoll. The total bird count for the season has now exceeded 35,000 birds (35,050) for the first time, comprising 100 species, the great majority of which have been migrants. 10.25 hours (861.31) BAEA 1 (339), GOEA 5 (5016) TOTAL 6 (7879)
