September 2 [Day 9] Winds were consistently from the west all day generally between 30 and 40 km/k, but gusting to 56 km/h in the early morning. The temperature ranged from 12 to 20.5C and variable cirrus and cumulus cloud cover again provided excellent viewing conditions. Once again, however, significant movement failed to materialize and the only raptor highlight was our first Peregrine Falcon of the season: a juvenile. Non-raptor highlights were our first hummingbird for the site seen by my son Mark as it was flying about 1 metre over my head (which I totally failed to see!) and another House Wren very close to the site. A Downy Woodpecker and a Ruffed Grouse brought the season’s bird species total to 58. A black, probably 3 or 4 year old Black Bear feeding close to the site at 0750 made for a good start to the day, but it was not seen again. 11.75 hours (92.92) SSHA 5 (20), COHA 1 (15), RTHA 2 (23), PEFA 1 (1) TOTAL 9 (97)
