November 15 [Day 79] At 0710 I climbed to the ridge where the wind was blowing 60 km/h from the west, the mountains to the north were cloud-covered and it was snowing, so I went back down and watched for the rest of the day from the site we occupied in late November last year at the base of the ridge to the west. Snow continued until after 1100 and the mountains finally cleared at 1135, but were thereafter periodically occluded for the rest of the day. As a result the first migrant did not appear until 1146 and movement was then slow and sporadic all day, but considering the conditions and the lateness of the season the 13 birds counted was not bad. I shall be going to Calgary for the next couple of days to join Barbara who is awaiting news of treatment for a recently detected small tumour patch in her left cerebellum, but the count will continue in my absence under the auspices of Denise and Raymond at the Valley View (Frank) site. 10.08 hours (869.4) BAEA 9 (540), NOGO 1 (157), GOEA 3 (5384) TOTAL 13 (8044)
