March 29 [Day 35] (Valley View site) It snowed heavily until 1540, and I arrived at the site at 1525 to find 12cm of fresh snow and all ridges obscured. Soon after the snow stopped all ridges cleared quickly and by 1900 there was a 50% cumulus and cirrus cloud cover. Unfortunately, winds were fairly light
NE then E and so not conducive to raptor movement, and the 2 Golden Eagles that did go north were very low and flapping most of the way. With the barometric pressure rising quickly, tomorrow promises a better day. 3.5 hours (367) GOEA 2 (2111) TOTAL 2 (2420)
Mount Lorette [No observation] Snow all day and although it stopped in the early evening the ridges didn’t clear.
