March 6 [Day 5]
(Joel Duncan) The mountains continued to be obscured until mid
afternoon after which they quickly cleared but by the end of the day
they were all obscured again. The temperature at 1200 was -7C and
rose to a high of -5.5C, ground winds were calm to variable, 0-6 km/h
while ridge winds appeared to be light or possibly moderate and cloud
cover was 70% cumulus and stratocumulus between 1200 and 1630 after
which it was 90% stratocumulus. At 1305 2 adult Bald Eagles moved
north above the Fisher Range ridge followed 1 minute later by 2 adult
Golden Eagles, and that comprised the day's raptor movement. Single
Common Goldeneye, Killdeer and European Starling were all firsts for
the season, and the Song Sparrow was still present near the site. 6.5
hours (45.99) BAEA 2 (2), GOEA 2 (8) TOTAL 4 (10)
Beauvais
Ridge (Peter Sherrington) I spent 2.5 hours between 1500
and 1730 at the site and observed 1 adult Bald Eagle and 7 Golden
Eagles (6a,1sa) moving either to the N or to the WNW from the ridge
that is located SW of Beauvais Lake. A single light morph
Rough-legged Hawk moved south to roost at 1705. The temperature was
-6 to -4C, winds were N 3-10 km/h and cloud cover was initially 70%
cumulus and stratocumulus quickly reducing to 20% by the end. 2.5
hours (4.25) migrants: BAEA 1 (1), GOEA 7 (7) TOTAL 8 (8); roosters:
RLHA 1 TOTAL 1 (12)
