Weather:
The temperature today at Hay Meadows was 11:00 at 9 am which steadily dropped to 6 by mid afternoon. Clouds covered the southern half of the sky and obscured some of the ridges over Mt Bogart and Mt Kidd. Ground winds were 2BFT, ridge winds were 76 km/hr. with gusts of 130 km /hr. the wind tapered off somewhat and it began to rain lightly. the clouds spread over the valley till both west and east ridges were obscured. Clouds swirled around Lorette. At 11,the rain became just a drizzle but very steady. At 2 pm we decided to call it a day as there was not bird activity other than a few raven early on and there was no visibility.
Raptor Observations:
No raptors seen.
Non-raptor Observations:
6 Ravens, 4 Red-crossbills, one Junco, two Black-capped chickadees, two Canada Jays and two Magpies were the only birds seen . A young Whitetail buck crossed the river early in the morning.
Predictions:
It is supposed to rain all night and turn to snow, so who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Wet day, pleasant company. always great to be out with people who love the out of doors!
