September 21 [Day 26] The day was characterized by strong westerly winds gusting in the morning to 100 km/h and diminishing in the afternoon to 50-60 km/h. As the morning temperatures ranged from 0C to 3C it made observation somewhat uncomfortable, but the temperature rose to 7C in the afternoon, and the high-wind cloud cover made afternoon viewing somewhat more pleasant. Raptors moved fairly steadily between 0839 and 1845 and we counted the highest totals so far for Bald Eagle (4), Golden Eagle (63: more than twice the previous high), Peregrine Falcon (4: the highest single-day count ever at the site with all the birds moving after 1550) and Prairie Falcon (3). The high winds obviously did not favour Accipiter movement with only a scattering of birds throughout the day. The high winds didn’t deter American Robin migration with a season high 134 moving south, including a single flock of 77 at 0750. 12.25 hours (284.35) OSPR 2 (11), BAEA 4 (17), NOHA 1 (42), SSHA 3 (382), COHA 3 (121), NOGO 1 (20), RTHA 5 (104), GOEA 63 (181), PEFA 4 (8), PRFA 3 (8), UU 1 (2) TOTAL 90 (997)
