April 21 [Day 47] (Peter Sherrington) The temperature was -4C at 0700 and rose to a high of 2C from 1200-1400 and was 1C at the end of the day. Ground winds were variable and light (0-10 km/h) to 1300 after which they were N and occasionally NW gusting to 18 km/h for the rest of the day. Cloud cover was 90-100% cumulus and stratocumulus for most of the day, all the ridges were partially obscured all day, the east 10-50% and the west 20-100%, and periods of light snow, squalls and snow flurries persisted throughout the day. There was a disappointing movement of only 8 raptors between 1219 and 1749 which comprised 3 Bald Eagles (2a, 1j), 2 unaged Sharp-shinned Hawks, 2 Red-tailed Hawks (1u light morph calurus, and 1 adult dark morph harlani that flew low down the valley at 1521) and 1 light morph Rough-legged Hawk. Migrants included 22 Dark-eyed Juncos (21 montanus, 2 cismontanus), 8 Common Redpolls and at 0950 the Nashville Warbler identified by Jim yesterday flew low over my head towards the north, but could not be subsequently relocated. A single Mountain Goat on the snow-covered northern peak of the Fisher Range at 1432 made a splendid sight.12 hours (543.07) BAEA 3 (191), SSHA 2 (39), RTHA 2 (43), RLHA 1 (39) TOTAL 8 (3351)
