December 5 & 6 No observation. Cold, north winds, snow and ridges obscured all weekend. On December 5 at 1437, however, David McIntyre observed an adult Golden Eagle flying south over his house on the North Burmis Road immediately east of south Livingstone Range ridge. The bird had blue patagial tags on both wings with white numbers which could not be read because of the conditions and is probably a bird marked by Rob Domenech of the Raptor View Research Institute in Montana. It was obviously a migrant so I have added it to the count.
