November 19 [Day 85] (Valley View site) Winds were again strong W, gusting up to 70 km/h at ground level, to 1400 when ground winds switched to N up to 16 km/h while W ridge winds became moderate to strong then moderate at 1700. The temperature was 2C at 0710, rose to 3C between 1000 and 1430 and fell to 1C after 1500. Cloud cover was 30% altostratus and altocumulus to 0830 after which cloud increased and thickened to 80-100% mainly stratocumulus and cumulus for the rest of the day partially obscuring the Livingstone ridge after 1400. Light to very light snow fell continuously after 1000. Raptor movement was very slow with only 2 adult Golden Eagles and 2 Bald Eagles (adult and juvenile) moving between 0945 and 1256, probably as a result of even worse weather conditions farther north. Two Belted Kingfishers flying together at 1422 and 2 Townsend’s Solitaires perched together 10 minutes later added some welcome avian diversity. 10.16 hours (973.21) BAEA 2 (453), GOEA 2 (4181) TOTAL 4 (6778)
