October 29 [Day 62] The count today was mainly conducted by Denise, Karola, Keith and Raymond allowing me to take Barbara to Calgary for a medical appointment. I arrived back at the site in the late afternoon and helped for the last couple of hours… not that they needed much help as they had done an excellent job of identification and recording. Winds were westerly (or occasionally from the SW) all day generally 30-40 gusting up to 50 km/h, with variable 30-80% cirrus, cumulus and lenticular cloud cover, and a temperature high of 7.5C from a low of 4C. Raptor movement started at 0825 and was fairly steady all day. Golden Eagle numbers finally show signs of diminishing but the bird at 0935 brought the seasonal total to 5000 for the first time ever. Bald Eagles and Northern Goshawks continue to increase and the adult male Northern Harrier at 1022 was the latest ever at the site. As often happens, Rough-legged Hawks moved very early and very late in the day. The migrant passerines today were 94 Bohemian Waxwings, 200 Grey-crowned Rosy Finches, 5 Red Crossbills, 345 Common Redpolls and 99 Pine Siskins. 11.33 hours (699.17) BAEA 14 (337), NOGO 10 (126), RLHA 4 (50), GOEA 55 (5033), UE 4 (11), MERL 1 (26) TOTAL 89 (7415)
