November 19 [Day 83] (Raymond Toal) It was yet another calm day with occasional light westerly winds, a cloudless sky all day and a temperature that climbed to zero from a low of -9C. The first migrant was not seen until 1402 when an adult Bald Eagle went south followed in the same hour by 3 adult Golden Eagles and another adult Bald Eagle. I arrived back at the site just in time to see the 5400th migrant Golden Eagle of the season at 1619: a juvenile bird. The Golden Eagle total is now exactly 1000 higher than last fall’s count at this site. An un-aged goshawk, and 2 late moving adult Bald Eagles at 1652 rounded out the day’s count. 9.25 hours (901.65) BAEA 4 (550), NOGO 1 (160), GOEA 4 (5400) TOTAL 9 (8075)
