November 3 [Day 67] (Bill Wilson) It was a little milder than the last couple of days with a starting temperature of -1C that gradually climbed to a high of 2.5C at 1800. Winds were strong westerly all day gusting to 65 km/h and it was generally cloudy with 70-100% altocumulus and altostratus cloud with only occasional sunny periods. The raptor count was again remarkably similar to that of yesterday with movement starting with a juvenile Golden Eagle at 0934 and finishing with an un-aged Golden Eagle in the gloom of 1544 and included 13 Bald Eagles (all adults) and 26 Golden Eagles. The highlight of the day was a white (or very pale grey) Gyrfalcon that flew directly overhead before noon: the third of the season. After several days of strong passerine movement the only migrants recorded today were 13 Bohemian Waxwings, 6 Pine Grosbeaks and 88 Common Redpolls. Bill relieved me today so that I could attend the RMERF planning session and Board Meeting near Calgary at which my suggestion to change the name of the count to Piitaistakis-South Livingstone was accepted. Piitaistakis (pronounced “beetaISHstahkuh”) is the traditional Piikani (Blackfoot) name for the ridge system on which the count site is situated and the name means, appropriately, “Place of the Eagles”. 10.66 hours (754.33) BAEA 13 (381), NOGO 5 (141), RLHA 1 (56), GOEA 26 (5181), GYRF 1 (3) TOTAL 46 (7634)
