November 29 [Day 93] At 0730 it was -11C, light N-W winds and overcast with light snow falling, but the ridges were visible and by 0840 there were small patches of blue sky. By 0915, however, everything closed in and I left at 1010, but returned to the site at 1400 just as the snow was ending and the clouds dispersing, with a temperature of -9C and a light W wind. After 1530 the clouds completely disappeared, as did the wind, allowing the temperature to fall to -15C by 1700. Two adult Bald Eagles flapped their way south along the ridge at 1438 and a single adult Bald Eagle flew low to the south at 1523 to complete the day’s raptor migration. At 1638 the resident juvenile Golden Eagle flapped low and slowly to the west to roost on Bluff Mountain. 5.75 hours (991.9) BAEA 3 (605) TOTAL 3 (8175)
