April 17 [Day 43] (Joel Duncan) The temperature at 0900 was 2C, fell to the day's low of 1C at 1000, rose to a high of 3C at 1500 and was still 2C at 1900. Ground winds were NE all day 8-15 gusting 30 km/h while ridge winds were light to moderate SW (occasionally WSW or SSW) gusting to 29 km/h at 1400. Cloud cover was initially 100% low altostratus that produced very light snow flurries, which gradually decreased to 30% altocumulus, cumulus and altostratus at 1500 before increasing again to 70% at the end of the day. All ridges were obscured until 1100 after which they gradually cleared with the east fully clear at 1330 and all ridges clear at 1500. Raptor movement was disappointing with only 3 birds seen: 1 adult Sharp-shinned Hawk at 1140 and 2 adult Bald Eagles at 1242. Because of the lack of birds Joel moved to the Lusk Creek site from 1700 to 1900 but found that it was no better there. A flock of 25 Dark-eyed Juncos in the Hay Meadow included 2 male “Pink-sided” Juncos (J.h.mearnsi). 10 hours (441.82) BAEA 2 (85), SSHA 1 (23) TOTAL 3 (1220)
