November 20 [Day 84] I was back on the ridge today where the sky was cloudless all day with a temperature of -10C at 0800 that rose to -4C at 1500 and down to -9C at 1700. Winds were again generally light W or WNW, normally 10-14 km/h with even calm periods in the late afternoon. The first raptors were 3 Bald Eagles at 1140 and movement was subsequently slow but steady until the last Bald Eagle went south at 1615. The count of 15 Bald Eagles is the highest since November 10, and the single Rough-legged Hawk at 1406 is the first seen since November 11. The only non-raptor migrant moving in any numbers was Canada Goose with 378 birds counted including a flock of 130 flying west at 1213 and one of 150 flying south at 1718. The only passerines moving were 9 Common Redpolls. 10.08 hours (911.73) BAEA 15 (565), NOGO 1 (161), RLHA 1 (72), GOEA 3 (5403) TOTAL 20 (8095)
