October 3 [Day 14] (Terry Waters, assisted by Rod Smith) The ridges were obscured all morning and as a result observation did not start until 1200, when there was 2 cm of fresh snow on the ground. The temperature at noon was -2C, rose to 4C at 1700 and had fallen back to 0C at 1830. Ground winds were NE light (<5 km/h) all day, and ridge winds were also probably light N-NW. Cloud cover was 100% stratus all morning, then 80-90% stratocumulus for most of the afternoon that reduced to 50% stratocumulus and cumulus by the end of the day. The Fisher Range finally cleared around 1600, but Mount Lorette remained shrouded in cloud all day and the few migrants seen appeared to originate from Heart Mountain to the north of Mount Lorette. Intermittent snow flurries occurred throughout the afternoon. The first migrant was an adult Northern Goshawk that flew to the south above the valley at 1302, and the first Golden Eagle was a juvenile that moved to the south against the face of the Fisher Range at 1355. The day's other 2 Golden Eagles also moved low below the Fisher Range ridge. The count was 1 adult Cooper's Hawk, 2 adult Northern Goshawks, 3 Golden Eagles (1a,2j) and 1 adult Peregrine Falcon, and the last bird of the day was seen at 1552. Other birds seen included 16 American Robins, 14 American Pipits feeding on gravel bars in the river, and 45 Pine Siskins.
