It was a bright and sunny day bookended with cloudy periods in the first and last few hours. The western mountains were occasionally obscured by low cloud from snow-making on Nakiska. Otherwise, the ridges were clear. Wind gusted to 20 km/h from the SW in the afternoon.
The first migrant of the season was an adult Bald Eagle flying north over the east side of the valley at 10:26 am. Eagles continued to move over the eastern ridges in a steady trickle until 3 pm, after which only two were seen.
