September 22 [Day 3] (Cliff Hansen) The sky was cloudless all day, the temperature rose to 12C from a low of -2C, ground winds were SSW generally below 10 km/h and ridge winds were moderate. None of the 16 raptor migrants recorded passed over Mount Lorette, but appeared over the northern end of the Fisher Range probably having come from Heart Mountain. Birds moved between 1334 and 1901 and comprised 1 juvenile Bald Eagle, 1 adult Sharp-shinned Hawk, 2 calurus Red-tailed Hawks (1 light adult, 1 intermediate juvenile) and 12 Golden Eagles (1a, 5sa, 3j, 3u). As yesterday no birds passed over Mount Lorette and all movement was to the east of the site. The warmer weather saw 3 butterfly species on the wing: Milbert’s Tortoiseshell, Mourning Cloak and Green Comma. 11.67 hours (24.42) BAEA 1 (2), SSHA 1 (2), RTHA 2 (3), GOEA 12 (13) TOTAL 16 (21)
