Visitors:
We talked with 10 curious visitors today.
Weather:
At the start of the count at 8:30 the temperature read 2C. It crept up to a high of 3.5C by 10:00 and then made its way back to 2C by 12:00 and remained there until we sadly had to abandon the site at 13:30 due to the drizzle/ snow (Sndrizzleow) lol. A storm gradually moved in from the SW behind Mt Kidd and overcame the valley. Ground winds were light from the SW and Ridge winds averaged about 50 Km/h from the SW/SSW.
Raptor Observations:
Only one Golden Eagle was sighted today at 8:30 as it made its way south gliding over the Fisher Range. Later, one adult Bald Eagle flew south following the river.
Non-raptor Observations:
A flock of 60 Bohemian Waxwings kept returning to the wolf willow bushes to eat silverberries. 2 Canada Jays, 1 Ruffed Grouse, 4 Common Ravens.
