Visitors:
About 40 visitors came by and two documentaries were filmed.
Weather:
At the start of the count the temperature was 2.6C gradually rising to 8C by 14:00 and dropping to 4C by the end of the day. Winds averaged between 8- 15 Km/h from the SW for most of the day with intermittent gusts up to 26 Km/h. The ridge winds from the SW/WSW averaged 40 km/h with gusts up to 92. Cloud coverage began at 100% then averaged about 60 â 80% for most of the day and cleared to 30% by the end of the count. Clouds consisted of cumulus, cirrus, nimbostratus, and stratocumulus. Scant windblown snow reached the site at intervals throughout the day.
Raptor Observations:
The final count of 40 migrants was less than we expected and possibly due to snowstorms north of the area. The golden eagles seemed to be coming from the east on the other side of âPatrickâ and the majority suddenly appeared above the North Fisher Range. Only a handful were located to the north, and a couple found over the west peaks that interacted as they migrated south.

Visitors:
10 visitors stopped to chat, Jamie, Gabriella and Michele helped to look for eagles and did spot some for us. A big thank you to Caroline for coming out and doing the CBC interview!
Weather:
Weather wise today was quite a fine show of changeability. Upon arrival at the site, the sky was completely covered in cloud. Lorette, the top of Patrick and Mt Kidd and Mt Allen were obscured. Dark clouds hung over Nakiska. A fine drizzle began which quickly turned into a complete whiteout throwing graupel and some snow flakes. The temperature was 3 degrees which stayed this way till the clouds started to lift at 11:00 and blue sky slowly began to creep in from the northwest. Both ridges had their share of being completely covered to lifting around 1 pm when the temperature was at its highest 6 degrees. The sun came out and was quite pleasant for a short time before the clouds rushed in and once again a whiteout and more snow fall. the temperature dropped slowly to 3 degrees where it stayed till the end of the day. Ground winds were light, mostly from the southwest. Ridge winds moved around from SW at 31km/hr. with gusts of up to 64 km /hr. to NNE at 19 km/hr back to SW or WSW, with gusts.
Raptor Observations:
The raptors started coming quite early while the clouds were still covering Patrick, making aging impossible. The Golden eagles consistently came in behind Patrick or just to the right of Patrick, with only one appearing just to the right of Lorette. Most of them were very high and moving fast, however we did have a few lower ones that turned nicely offering better observation for us. We did see a juvenile eagle flying playfully with an adult. The two did an aerial tumble and continued on their way. In all we saw 68 Golden eagles (23 adults, 40 unaged, 3 juvenile, 2 subadults) One Sharp-shinned hawk and One unknow raptor. As well as the migrating birds a juvenile Bald eagle flew north up the valley, the Goshawk flew across the Valley and a Merlin flew near the Goshawk then landed in the meadow before relanding in a tree by the river.
Non-raptor Observations:
There were not a lot of other birds seen, some Dark eyed Juncos and an American Robin on the walk in. Three Ruffed grouse were seen by Caroline. 6 Brown-headed cowbirds, 8 Raven, 1 Canada Jay, the male Kingfisher who spent some time fishing and a Northern Shrike were our visiting avian friends.

Visitors:
We didn’t have many visitors today aside from the Adaptive group, who stopped in for 45 minutes or so midday. Perhaps 8 in all.
Weather:
After many days of slow ridge winds, things finally picked up today. We started out slow at 8km/h SW, but rose to 53 gusting 68km/h SSW, which was much needed. There were no clouds all day up until approximately 16:45 when they swept in and blanketed the sky in a cumulus and lenticular mix. Temps were warm, rising to 12 degrees at the highest, and high winds blew gently from the west.
Raptor Observations:
There were plenty of Golden Eagles today, but very few other raptors. The Goldens (94a, 21s, 12j, 96u) flew a variety of flight paths, but the vast majority followed a jetstream quite high over the Eastern ridge. They were cruising, rarely stopping to bank, and offering very little aid on the ageing front. A handful chose a more reasonable height, and an even smaller number opted to go along the Western ridge. Very few were picked up before reaching Patrick, usually materialising from in behind.
3 Sharp-shinned Hawks and a young Goshawk rounded out the count. The resident Gos flew by and two resident Bald Eagles spent some time along the river.
Non-raptor Observations:
It was a fairly slow day for other birds – a Varied Thrush foraged on the path in, and a female Common Merganser made a brief stop on the river. At one point a Canada Jay made an appearance on a distant treetop.

Visitors:
Besides the Adaptive group, about 12 people came by and chatted or stopped to look for birds. Huge thanks to Julie and Eric who spent several hours helping us to spot eagles and were very successful at it!
Weather:
Today was a clear cold sunny day. Starting temperature upon arrival at Hay Meadows was minus 7.By noon, the temperature was up to plus 1 for a high of plus 6 and dropped to plus 4 at end of day. The whole day was quite calm with wind barely perceptible , but switching from west to south and back. There no clouds with the exception of some high cirrus cloud beginning to form mid afternoon which then blew away and were replaced by bits and pieces of cirrus cloud through the afternoon. Ridge winds were south west to begin with and switched around to north north east anywhere from 3 – 23 km/hr. High winds were not predictable as there were no clouds to see. Later in the day, the wind seem to be strong as the eagles were seen high over Lorette and 5 minutes later over Patrick.
Raptor Observations:
The birds were slow in starting only two eagles seen before noon, then picked up at 1 pm. The early afternoon ones were seen over the bumps but then the majority were spotted over Hummingbird, Skogan pass and Mt Lorette. They were also travelling in pairs or 3s and 4s which made it very difficult to age them as the moving targets that they are, hard to keep track of and going out of sight when they turned. We did get a second chance with some of them as they came over Patrick. Some were very low , sometimes going in front of Patrick. One even landed on Patrick for a short rest. Then as the high winds seemed to pick up late in the afternoon, they flew high above Patrick. All told we saw 63 Golden eagles (34 adults,6 juvenile, 4 subadults and 19 unaged). We also saw an Unidentified Raptor, 1 sharp-shinned Hawk and 1 Bald Eagle (adult). The resident Goshawk came and sat in a tree in front of us, so we were able to point it out to a group of Adaptive birdwatchers who came specifically to see Golden eagles. As they were packing up, 3 eagles came over Skogan pass so they were able to see Golden eagles too.
Non-raptor Observations:
AS well as the raptors, we did see a Clark’s Nutcracker, 20 Ravens, several Boreal Chickadees, Black-capped Chickadees and the female Belted Kingfisher sat in a tree upstream for a few minutes. A small herd of Big Horn Mountain Sheep were seen on the ridge leading up to Nakiska.

Visitors:
We were lucky to have several people stay for varying lengths to help spot, and a small number of people wandered down the trail. All told, around 30 visitors.
Weather:
It started somewhat chilly at -10 degrees, rising as far as 4 by the afternoon. Wind was once again non-existant, both at ground and ridge level. No clouds dared mar the stunningly blue sky.
Raptor Observations:
All migrants were very low and working hard for any progress they made. 22 Golden Eagles battled their way across our sightlines, rarely coming close to the ridges. Almost all were adults. They nearly exclusively moved from the east side of Lorette across the valley, reaching Patrick halfway up or lower and crossing in front of the face. Some managed to rise to ridge-level by the bumps, but most continued low.
A couple non-Golden migrants passed by, these being 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks, a Goshawk, 2 Bald Eagles and a gorgeous dark-morph Rough-legged Hawk.
The resident Gos escorted the migrating one through the valley, cackling as it went. Two resident Bald Eagles (1a, 1s) flew by, as did the adult resident Golden.
Non-raptor Observations:
It was an incredibly slow day for non-raptors. A Belted Kingfisher flew by, the Dipper was heard, and almost nothing else of note was observed. There were some Mule Deer in the parking lot on the way out!

Visitors:
There were 15 interested visitors today. Special thanks to Caroline for joining us in the afternoon, and to Cindy for extending her planned short visit to a full day to assist as an AO.
Weather:
The opening temperature was -6 C and stayed cool until mid afternoon with final temperatures of -1 C. The ground winds were basically non-existent, and the wind gauge swung from SW to West to SW to SE to North to West in the calm air. Ridge winds were assessed as “Low” (< 10 km/hr) to "Medium" (11-40 km.hr) later in the afternoon, and generally from the South. The High winds from the Nakiska weather station reported an unprecedented wind reading of calm. The skies were overcast from 20 % in the morning and increasing to 60 % throughout the day. The West ridges were obscured over Nakiska, Hummingbird Plume and Mt Lorette, while the East ridges were clear all day.
Raptor Observations:
A total of 69 raptor migrants were observed during the day of three species. The flight consisted of 61 Golden Eagles (42 Adults, 9 Juveniles, and 10 Unaged), 3 Bald Eagles (3 First Year), and 5 Rough-legged Hawks, including one stunning dark morph. Due to the non-existent ground winds and adverse ridge and non-existent high winds the migration flight path was very low, and the migrants rarely peeped over the tops of the ridges. Locating the migrants was challenging due to the low flight path as the birds disappeared into the face, or flew behind “Patrick” to disappear and never reappear. If located in the face of “Patrick” the migrants were flapping, and attempting to soar, and often flying in circles attempting to gain elevation.
Non-raptor Observations:
There were no observations of resident raptors today. Other observations were a flight of 40 migratory Canada Geese in the early morning sun, 8 Mountain Chickadees, 2 Boreal Chickadees, 2 Golden-crowned Kinglets, 1 Belted Kingfisher, 7 American Robin, 6 Dark-eyed Junco, 14 Common Raven, 3 European Starling, 1 Killdeer, and 1 Clarke’s Nutcracker.
