November 25 [Day 89] The early morning was similar to yesterday with a temperature of -10C and W-NW winds gusting to 40 km/h but today was cloudless until 1000 which allowed me to periodically unfreeze my face by looking towards the sun for a few minutes. The wind continued W-WNW 20-45 km/h all day and mainly cumulus cloud developed after 1000 giving good observing conditions. By 1400 the temperature had reached -6C before falling back to -9C at 1700. Once again there was no early raptor movement with the first bird, an adult Northern Goshawk, not appearing until 1132, and subsequent movement was slow and sporadic despite the apparently ideal conditions: perhaps we are finally running out of birds! The last two Bald Eagles moved high to the south in fading light at 1624 and 1638. There was some early finch movement with 12 Red Crossbills, 19 White-winged Crossbills and 2 Common Redpolls flying south before 1000, and at 1715 I flushed 2 Ruffed Grouse on the descent for a first November sighting although I had seen tracks a couple of weeks ago. Raymond and Denise will be watching from the Valley View (Frank) site for the next couple of days so I can accompany Barbara to Calgary for some preliminary procedures before her radiation treatment starts in December. 9.92 hours (961.73) BAEA 6 (593), NOGO 1 (163), GOEA 1 (5428) TOTAL 8 (8156)
