October 26 [Day 59] A cloudless sky allowed the temperature to fall to -6C at 0800 and the sky remained cloudless all day, but despite the sunshine the temperature high was only 1C. Winds were moderate westerly all day, mainly from 10 to 20 km/h. The first Golden Eagle moved south along the ridge at 0802, followed in the next 6 minutes by 4 more, but subsequently the pace became more sedate until 1300-1400 when 32 raptors moved south. Another 31 birds moved late in the day between 1740 and 1835 when the last Golden Eagle was seen, 10 hours and 33 minutes after the first. The Golden Eagle count has now surpassed that of 1993 at Mount Lorette (4599) which was until today the second highest RMERF count ever. Passerine movement was again strong, especially in the morning, including the second Brown Creeper for the season, 480 Bohemian Waxwings, 1 Dark-eyed [hyemalis] Junco, 86 Grey-crowned Rosy Finches and 181 Common Redpolls. There was a large influx of Common Ravens flying to the west in the late afternoon pushing the daily count to a season high 139: at 1727 a juvenile Bald Eagle glided right through the middle of a cloud of 30 ravens soaring high over a Livingstone peak. The total bird count for the day was 1058, the highest so far this season. 11.5 hours (665.01) BAEA 6 (275), SSHA 3 (1205), NOGO 4 (105), RLHA 5 (38), GOEA 115 (4712) TOTAL 133 (6981)
