May 12 [Day 75] (Piitaistakis Ridge site) Heavy wet snow at 0700 followed by light rain had me starting the day at the Valley View site, but by 1000 the Livingstone Ridge was clear so I climbed to the ridge site up a very slippery trail. The temperature on the ridge ranged from 3C to 7.5C before quickly falling after 1500 to 0.5C by1900. Winds were WNW-W gusting to 55km/h until 1830 when they changed to N bringing light snow by 1900, and cloud cover was 100-60% cumulus, stratocumulus, altostratus and cirrus. Raptor movement was very slow and comprised a subadult Golden Eagle at 1348, a juvenile Northern Goshawk at 1534, a juvenile Prairie Falcon at 1744 and a juvenile Golden Eagle at 1801, and even the resident Red-tailed Hawks and Golden Eagles were virtually absent. Songbirds were also scarce with the exception of a single flock of 30 American Pipits. 12.5 hours (847.1) NOGO 1 (105), GOEA 2 (2698), PRFA 1 (14) TOTAL 4 (3666)
