April 15 [Day 51] (Valley View site) There was steady snow until noon when it eased and the ridges began to clear. I arrived at the site at 1300 and snow flurries and light snow continued until 1700, although the ridges were more or less clear. The temperature reached 5C and winds were NE gusting to 25 km/h changing to NW after 1800. Despite the conditions there was a sporadic raptor movement between 1440 and 1759, with most birds quickly losing height after soaring. At 1625 3 apparently resident adult Golden Eagles soared together over the valley for several minutes with no agonistic behaviour before gliding together to the south. 6.33 hours (558.8) BAEA 1 (378), SSHA 2 (14), RTHA 4 (106), GOEA 3 (2490), UF 1 (1) TOTAL 11 (3127)
