November 3 [Day 42] (Cliff Hansen) Unfortunately, the scheduled Principal Observer had a family medical emergency and was unable to go to the site. Fortunately Cliff was available,but was unable to arrive at the site until 1345 when the temperature was 5C. It rose to a high of 9.5C at 1500 and was still 6C at 1800. Ground winds were SW 5-10 gusting 25 km/h, and ridge winds were strong SW. Cloud cover was 100% cumulus, altostratus and cirrus becoming 60-70% cumulus, lenticular, altostratus, altocumulus and cirrus after 1700. The east ridges were clear, but the western ridges were 30-50% obscured after 1600. The first of the day's 15 Golden Eagles (10a,5u) recorded was not seen until 1451. This was over an hour after the start of the count, which suggests that the late start did not result in the loss of too much data. All the birds moved very high above the Fisher Range, the busiest hour was 7 birds between 1600 and 1700and the last bird was seen at 1752. Other birds were scarce and the only migrants seen was a flock of 7 American Robins flying to the south.
