August 31 [Day 7] The day again started with the temperature at 16C, but today with W-SW winds gusting to 50 km/h. By noon the temperature had reached 21C when winds gusting to almost 90 km/h coincided with a drop to 18C. After 1500 the winds dropped to 50 km/h again and the temperature rose to 21C. At 1610 rain showers moved in from the west quickly reducing the temperature to 14C. The weather was certainly not conducive to raptor movement (or observation!) and only four migrants were recorded. After a promising start passerine movement just about ceased at 0900. The early movement comprised mainly Yellow-rumped Warblers, Red-breasted Nuthatches and kinglets with a few Wilson’s and Townsend’s Warblers. Notable were the second Western Wood-Pewee and Orange-crowned Warbler of the season. 11.25 hours (69.42) SSHA 1 (14), COHA 2 (13), RTHA 1 (18) TOTAL 4 (73)
