December 4 [Day 96] The temperature ranged from a very pleasant 6C at 0830 to 9C at noon and back to 6C at 1700 under moderate to strong westerly winds. With the exception of occasional cloud drape the mountains were clear all day and 70% to 90% cumulus cloud cover provided good viewing conditions. Raptor movement was steady between 0852 when the first Bald Eagle went south and the last migrant Golden Eagle at 1635. The combined species total of 28 and the Bald Eagle count of 22 were both new high single day December counts for a RMERF site, and four species of migrant raptor (and a non-migrant Prairie Falcon) represented good diversity for December. This is a migration that doesn’t seem to want to quit! 8.58 hours (1013.5) BAEA 22 (655), NOGO 1 (165), RLHA 2 (81), GOEA 3 (5445) TOTAL 28 (8241)
