May 5 [Day 68] (Valley View site) It was a very windy day with ground winds W-WSW gusting to 70 km/h in mid afternoon and ridge winds strong W all day. Periodically squalls moved from the west producing rain and sleet showers, with one extended period of wet snow and sleet from 1300 to 1350 when all ridges were obscured, but there were also sunny periods when the cloud cover reduced to 60% cumulus. The temperature ranged from 6C to 11C so observation was not too uncomfortable, but there was little to look at as only 3 migrant raptors were recorded including a juvenile Golden Eagle at 1054. At 1806 the resident pair of Golden Eagles copulated just below the Livingstone Ridge, the first time that this has been observed this season. 12.5 hours (759.6) SSHA 1 (60), NOGO 1 (96), GOEA 1 (2636) TOTAL 3 (3496)
