September 8 [Day 15] Once again winds were W strong all day gusting 55-72 km/h to 1400 and 80-86 km/h to 1900. The temperature ranged from 3C to 9C and cloud cover was 20 to 80% mainly cumulus with altostratus developing after 1800 with a Chinook Arch over the Livingstone Range by 1900. Raptor movement started fairly early with a Sharp-shinned Hawk going south at 0906 and by 1445 19 birds had been counted and it appeared that a good count was in the offing. With the increase in wind velocity in the afternoon, however, movement ceased with the sole exception of a Sharp-shinned Hawk at 1621. Passerine migration was also severely affected by the wind with only a handful of kinglets and a couple of warblers moving. A probable adult male black Black Bear walking north to the east of the ridge at 1111 was the 5th seen this season.12.5 hours (187.08) OSPR 1 (19), NOHA 1 (30), SSHA 7 (125), COHA 3 (33), NOGO 1 (32), RTHA 2 (30), GOEA 5 (26) TOTAL 20 (344)
