March 8 [Day 7] (Cliff Hansen) The temperature at 1000 was 3C and rose to 7C between 1400 and 1600 before falling to 5C at 1830. Ground winds were 5-15 km/h gusting to 30 km/h in the afternoon, while ridge winds were mainly SW moderate to strong gusting to 112 km/h resulting in extensive snow pluming from the ridges. Cloud cover was initially 60% altostratus and cirrus with lenticular cloud forming after 1200 and with an arch developing at 1800 that occupied 90% of the sky. Despite good viewing conditions afforded by the cloud the only migrant raptor seen was an adult Golden Eagle at 1316; an adult Bald Eagle flying south at 1717 was considered to be resident. Other bird species were also hard to find and a European Starling found dead at the pump-houses was probably the one seen two days previously. 8.5 hours (61.82) GOEA 1 (11) TOTAL 1 (13)

Beauvais Ridge (Peter Sherrington, 1500-1700) There was an 80% altostratus cloud cover forming an arch resulting from strong WSW winds, and the temperature was 7C. Only one migrant Golden Eagle was seen, an adult at 1624, and a further adult Golden Eagle, 2 adult Bald Eagles and a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk were either resident or moving south to roost. 2 HOURS (8.5) GOEA 1 (11) TOTAL 1 (14)
