Wednesday, November 28, 2007

November 28 [Day 92] The temperature ranged from -6C to -2C at 1300 and back to -6C at 1700, with a mainly northerly wind gusting to 20 km/h making it seem much cooler, and an upper flow from the NW-N all day. Cloud cover was 100-60% cumulus, altostratus and cirrus giving hazy sun conditions for much of the day. Early in the day it looked as if there was a prospect of good raptor movement as 2 Golden Eagles and a Bald Eagle went south before 0902, but there was a long gap until after 1500 when 5 Bald Eagles and a Golden Eagle moved along the ridge between 1506 and 1549, the 2 Bald Eagles at 1522 bringing the season’s total to 600. The last bird of the day, a Bald Eagle, went south at 1626. 9.67 hours (986.15) BAEA 7 (602), GOEA 4 (5435) TOTAL 11 (8172)
