August 30 [Day 6] The weather was a re-run of yesterday’s with the temperature ranging from 15.5C to 17C, upslope (E) winds generally 5-15 km/h and essentially cloudless skies with just a smudge of altostratus on the E and NE horizons. It was another steady day of raptor movement with 41 birds of 8 species counted between 1032 and 1820 which is the highest daily count so far this season and the second highest August count for the site. Northern Harrier (9), Sharp-shinned Hawk (16) and Cooper’s Hawk (6) all were season-high counts with all age-determined birds being juveniles. Less usual were an adult dark-morph Swainson’s Hawk at 1526 and an adult light morph Ferruginous Hawk at 1716, and only 1 juvenile Golden Eagle moved past the site today. Once again passerine movement was rather thin and it will probably take a change in the current stable weather system to send another wave south. The only new species for the season was a Blue Jay that flew to the south past the site at 1115. 12 hours (74.25) NOHA 9 (23), SSHA 16 (49), COHA 6 (11), UA 1 (1), SWHA 1 (5), RTHA 5 (18), FEHA 1 (6), GOEA 1 (8), AMKE 1 (9) TOTAL 41 (142)
