March 25 [Day 31] (Valley View site) It snowed steadily until around 1515 when the mountains quickly cleared but winds remained moderate NE to NNE and no migrant raptors were seen. The barometric pressure rose 11 hPa between 0730 and 1900 promising a much better day tomorrow. It was on this date in 1993 that I counted a total of 849 Golden Eagles at Mount Lorette which remains the highest ever spring count for the species: those were the days! 3.5 hours (326.5) No migrant raptors.
Mount Lorette (Cliff Hansen) At Lorette snow persisted until around 1600 before clearing and ridge winds were also moderate to strong NE to NNE, but Cliff did record 4 migrant Golden Eagles between 1842 and 1935. 5.67 hours (532) GOEA 4 (535) TOTAL 4 (572)
