March 17 [Day
16] (Doug Pedersen, assisted by Cliff Hansen) There was 3 cm of fresh
snow on the ground at 0750. The temperature of -5C at 0750 rose to 1C
at 1400 and stayed there for the rest of the day. Ground winds were
very light to 1600 after which they were N 6-11 km/h, and ridge winds
were also mainly light S-SW. Cloud cover was again 100% stratus all
day and the ridges were 50% obscured to 0900, 70% obscured at 1000
and subsequently 100% obscured for the rest of the day. Light snow
fell to noon and again after 1600. No migrant raptors were seen
although 2 resident adult Bald Eagles were noted. This is the third
consecutive day with zero migrants and the 6th
this season. The Golden Eagle count remains at only 71 and were are
only 4 days away from the average median passage date for the
species! 10.16 hours (143.27) TOTAL 0 (81)

Ridge No
observation (poor weather: snow for most of the day but rapid
clearing after 1800 may augur well for tomorrow)
