November 16 [Day 81] (Bill Wilson) The ridges were completely obscured from the start and Bill moved down from the ridge to the Valley View site at 1030 when the temperature was still -5C and the wind E 5-10 gusting 15 km/h. Everything remained occluded until 1350 when the ridges cleared until 1520 after which the clouds lowered again obscuring the mountains for the rest of the day. Apart from some very light flurries between 1130 and 1230 there was no precipitation, which was in contrast to the snowy conditions that prevailed in the Front Ranges to the north. The only migrant raptor was an adult Bald Eagle at 1411 and passerines noted on the ridge before 1030 included 1 Black-capped Chickadee, 13 Mountain Chickadees, 2 Red-breasted Nuthatches, 3 Snow Buntings (just the second records for the season), 3 Pine Grosbeaks, 40 White-winged Crossbills and 5 Common Redpolls. 9.67 hours (911.14) BAEA 1 (377) TOTAL 1 (7986)
