August 28 [Day 4] Once low cloud had lifted from the ridge around 0800 the morning was bright and clear, although fog persisted in the Crowsnest Valley to the west and as far as the horizon to the east until almost noon. Winds were light westerly in the morning, gradually increasing to 30 km/h by late afternoon, when scattered cirrus and cumulus cloud quickly gave way to 100% altostratus and lenticular clouds. The temperature ranged from 6C to 15C producing the most pleasant day so far. Raptor migration was sporadic, with most of the birds moving very high, including our first Osprey of the season. The resident juvenile Golden Eagle was seen for the first time soaring with the resident pair, and at 1309 one of the adult birds stooped on a flying raven that barely escaped the extended talons. The total of 30 bird species tallied on the ridge included the first MacGillivray’s Warbler for the site as well as the first Hairy Woodpecker, Cassin’s Finches and Mountain Bluebirds for the season. 10.67 hours (34.92) OSPR 1 (1), BAEA 2 (3), SSHA 1 (5), COHA 1 (9), NOGO 1 (2), RTHA 3 (11), GOEA 1 (2), AMKE 1 (2) TOTAL 11 (37)
