Ground winds were SW-WSW 2-15 gusting 30 km/h all day, and ridge winds were mainly strong SW-SSW gusting 50-95 km/h. Cloud cover was 5% cumulus and cirrus to 1100, 50-80% stratocumulus and cumulus to 1400 and 100% stratus thereafter. The western ridges were obscured by flurries of up to 30 minutes in the afternoon but generally observing conditions were excellent. The day yielded a season-high count of 14 Golden Eagles between 0842 and 1506, with 6 of the birds moving between 1400 and 1500. All the birds moved high to the NW above the Fisher Range. Among the 9 other bird species recorded were a Belted Kingfisher and a male Red-winged Blackbird. 12.25 hours (90.69) GOEA 14 (39) TOTAL 14 (42)

Beauvais Ridge (Peter Sherrington, 1500-1615) It was 7C with strong WSW winds and 100% stratus cloud cover, with all the mountains of the Waterton Main Ranges to the south obscured. Not surprisingly, only 2 non migratory Rough-legged Hawks were recorded.
