March 7 [Day 4] (Cliff Hansen) The temperature ranged from -21C to a high of -13C at 1000, ground winds were variable and generally light to 1400 after which they were N 5-10 gusting 15 km/h while ridge winds were WSW moderate to strong. Cloud cover was 10% cumulus and cirrus at 0800 increasing to 20% at 1200 and 60% at 1300 thickening to 100% cumulus and stratus after 1500 with ice crystal haze and then snow developing for the rest of the day. By 1600 all ridges and peaks were obscured. The only raptor recorded was an adult Golden eagle at 1130 that slowly moved to the north above the western ridges. Between 1745 and 1815 Cliff observed at the Lusk Creek site but no raptors were seen. 10.5 hours (43) GOEA 1 (3) TOTAL 1 (5)
