November 12 [Day 78] (Valley View site) It was the coolest morning since October 13 with the temperature -9C at 0700 and it only rose to 1C before falling to -3C by 1700. Ground winds were mainly SW-NW gusting to 23 km/h and ridge winds were WNW moderate to 1200 after which they became moderate to strong. It was cloudless until 1030 after which cumulus cloud gradually developed reaching 50% at 1400 which greatly improved observing conditions. The first migrant raptor was a Golden Eagle at 0852, but movement was slow until mid afternoon when there was an influx of Bald Eagles with 15 of the day’s total of 21 (14a,4sa,3j) moving between 1408 and 1558. Four of the day’s 16 Golden Eagles (13a,1sa,2j) moved after 1600 with the last going south at 1644. 10.5 hours (901.13) BAEA 21 (396), NOGO 1 (134), GOEA 16 (4117) TOTAL 38 (6650)
