September 28 [Day 32] A warm start to the day with the temperature at 8C at 0700 with a WSW wind at 30 km/h increasing to 60 km/h by early afternoon. Cloud cover ranged from 70-100% and, despite squalls in the area, the mountains remained clear all day. At 1800 a probable cold front passed bringing a brief shower and quickly reducing the temperature from a high of 11C to 5C. Raptor movement carried on where it had left off yesterday with 35 birds moving before 1100, but it progressively became slower and more sporadic suggesting poor weather interrupting the flow to the north, and the last bird was seen at 1756. Highlights were the first Rough-legged Hawk of the season (a juvenile light morph female) at 0932, one day earlier than last year, two more Peregrine Falcons (both adults) and an Osprey carrying a large trout that was about two-thirds of its body length indicating a size of 50-60 cm. The ridge was almost devoid of songbirds in the morning, but a few turned up later including the first American Tree Sparrows (2) and the second Steller’s Jay and Bohemian Waxwing (2) records of the season. 12.5 hours (359.27) OSPR 1 (14), BAEA 1 (40), NOHA 1 (46), SSHA 11 (544), COHA 1 (149), NOGO 3 (26), RTHA 1 (152), RLHA 1 (1), GOEA 65 (656), PEFA 2 (24) TOTAL 87 (1776)
