November 12 [Day 76] Westerly winds were already gusting to 70 km/h at 0800 and after 1300 strengthened with gusts to 110 km/h and one at 1325 was above 120 km/h. Cloud cover was mainly 100% altostratus, altocumulus and cumulus and the temperature briefly rose to 1C from a low of -2C until snow developed from the west at 1330 obscuring the mountains for the rest of the day. Two adult Golden Eagles and a juvenile Bald Eagle moved between 0816 and 0829 suggesting that it would be another good day. Just before 1000 another adult Golden Eagle moved south closely followed by an adult Northern Goshawk and that was it for the day. The mountains to the north remained clear for another 3.5 hours but snow had obviously already developed to the north stopping further movement. Passerine movement was also thin involving 18 Bohemian Waxwings and 49 Grey-crowned Rosy Finches, and even Common Ravens were uncharacteristically scarce. 8 hours (838.66) BAEA 1 (518), NOGO 1(152) GOEA 3 (5364) TOTAL 5 (7995)
