November 15 [Day 81] (Valley View site) It was a cool day with a high of 0C from a low of -3.5C, but it felt much cooler as ground winds in the morning were SSW-WNW gusting to 80 km/h, moderating in the afternoon to 10-30 km/h. Ridge winds were very strong WNW all morning, moderating somewhat in the afternoon and cloud cover was 70-100% altostratus, cumulus, lenticular, altocumulus and cirrus forming a strong Chinook Arch during the early afternoon. The only raptor to move south during the morning was a Rough-legged Hawk at 0958, but a few more birds moved in the afternoon as very strong ridge winds abated with 11 of the day’s 14 migrants occurring between 1409 and 1628. All 7 Bald Eagles were adults and the 5 Golden Eagles comprised 3 adults and 2 juveniles. 10.33 hours (932.3) BAEA 7 (431), RLHA 2 (67), GOEA 5 (4156) TOTAL 14 (6730)
