November 5 [Day 45] (Cliff Hansen) The temperature again reached 17C between 1200 and 1400 from a low of 13C which was also the temperature at 1800. Surface winds were calm to light to 1300 after which they were mainly SW 5-15 gusting 30 km/h, and ridge winds were strong SSW (occasionally SSE-ESE) gusting to 170 km/h at 1300. Cloud cover was 10-20% altocumulus and cirrus to noon after which 20-30% lenticular cloud developed to the east and after 1700 50% cumulus and cirrus providing good observing conditions for much of the day. A total of 28 migrant raptors moved between 0941 and 1755 comprising 1 adult Bald Eagle, 1 small unidentified Accipiter, 23 Golden Eagles (8a, 2j 13u) and 3 small unidentified raptors. Peak movement was 5 birds between 1100 and 1200, and 1300 to1400, and most birds moved high and well to the east accounting for the high percentage of unaged Golden Eagles and unidentified birds. There was no passerine movement but single American Tree Sparrow, White-winged Crossbill and Pine Grosbeak were recorded at the site. 10 hours (484.48) BAEA 1 (126), UA 1 (15), GOEA 23 (3062), UU 3 (10) TOTAL 28 (3434)
