February 15 [Day 1] Observation was from the Valley View site to the west of the Piitaistakis Ridge. After 4 days of snow leaving 5 cm of snow on the ground, the ridges were clear until 1500 when the mountains of the southern Livingstone Range became obscured. The temperature rose to -7C from a low of -16C, winds at the ridge level were W light to moderate and cloud cover varied from 70-10% cumulus until 1400 when 100% stratocumulus developed producing light flurries then light snow after 1500. Despite reasonable migration and observation conditions for much of the day no migrant raptors were seen although one of the resident adult Golden Eagles appeared from time to time after 1300. 8 hours (8) no migrant raptors (0)
