October 29 [Day 38] (George Halmazna) The temperature at 0730 was 1C but fell to a low of -2C at 1000 before it briefly reached a high of 7C at 1300; from 1400 to the end of the day it remained at 6C. Ground winds were initially calm or very light to 1000, then NE to 10 km/h to noon and during the afternoon the wind was SW gusting up to 40 km/h at 1700, and ridge winds were probably SW all day, light to moderate in the morning and moderate to strong in the afternoon. Cloud cover was 80-90% stratus and cumulus to 1000, that cleared to 70% cumulus to 1300, thickened to 100% stratus from 1400 to 1600 that produced snow, and was subsequently 70-80% stratus and cumulus to the end of the day. The east ridges were clear to 1400 after which they were 30-90% obscured for the rest of the day, while the west was 90% obscured after 1400. The first Golden Eagle was seen at 0832 which seemed to suggest that the day would produce a reasonable migration, but when the last bird, a Bald Eagle, went through at 1318 the day's total was only 7 birds: 1 juvenile Bald Eagle, 1 adult Northern Goshawk and 5 adult Golden Eagles. Four of the birds (1 Bald Eagle and 3 Golden Eagles) were seen moving along the Fisher Range between 1300 and 1318. The only waterfowl moving south were a single flock of 35 Canada Geese, and other birds recorded included 1 Northern Shrike, 2 American Robins, 1 Varied Thrush, 2 American Pipits, 1 Song Sparrow, 3 Dark-eyed Juncos, 1 Pine Grosbeak, 4 White-crowned Sparrows, 1 Common Redpolls and 1 Pine Siskin.
