December 1 [Day 95] Snow and low cloud obscured the mountains until noon, when the Livingstone Ridge cleared enough to attempt a count starting at 1230 when the temperature was -17C with light westerly winds. Light snow continued all afternoon and the ridges were periodically draped with low cloud but 2 adult Bald Eagles made it through before I finally gave up at 1615 with the temperature at -19C. 3.75 hours (1004.9) BAEA 2 (633) TOTAL 2 (8213)
