April 9 [Day 35] (Joel Duncan) The temperature reached a high of 7.5C at 1800 from a low at 1015 of 2.5C and was 3C at 2000. Ground winds were SSE-SSW 5-10 gusting 20 km/h and ridge winds were calm or light S-W until 1500 after which they were moderate S-SW gusting on occasion to 60 km/h. Cloud cover was 100% thin stratus to 1330 after which it was a mixture of cumulus, altostratus and cirrus varying between 20 and 100%. Despite the apparently good migration and observation conditions raptor movement was disappointing with only 9 birds moving between 1420 and 1957. The first of the day's 7 Golden Eagles (2sa, 4j, 1u) was not seen until 1632, and 4 of the birds moved between 1700 and 1800. The only other migrants were 2 Bald Eagles: 1 juvenile and 1 bird of indeterminate age, and all birds moved exclusively along the Fisher Range and crossed to Mount Lorette. A Tree Swallow was the first for the year and there was a Northern Shrike at the site. 10 hours (401.33) BAEA 2 (157), GOEA 7 (2825) TOTAL 9 (3062)
