February 19 [Day 4] (Valley View site) Ground winds were variably NNW to WSW all day gusting 25 to 38 km/h, while ridge winds were consistently moderate to strong from the WNW. The temperature ranged from -2C to 3.5C and sky conditions were again excellent for observation with 30-100% mixtures of altostratus, cirrostratus, cumulus and cirrus cloud generally allowing enough sun to counteract the chilling wind. There was again a good raptor movement for this early in the season with a slow but steady movement of eagles between 0859 and 1554. All the birds were adults with the exception of a single subadult Golden Eagle and the total of 7 Golden Eagles was the highest so far this season. Five Common Redpolls were the first this season, with the species being very uncommon in the area this winter. 10.5 hours (39.75) BAEA 5 (20), GOEA 7 (19) TOTAL 12 (40)
