April 29 [Day 62] (Valley View site) I arrived back at the site at 1045 and found 25 cm of fresh snow on the ground. The ridges were almost clear but light snow persisted until 1400 and ground winds were mainly NE 5 to 10 gusting 15 km/h until 1900 when it became calm. Ridge winds were NE moderate until 1500 after which they were E moderate to light and light after 1700. Cloud cover was 100% stratus and cumulus until 1900 when the clouds began to break up. Probably as the result of the generally light NE winds raptor movement was very slow with Ospreys at 1409 and 1628, and a subadult Golden Eagle at 1520 being the only migrants recorded. 8.5 hours (684) OSPR 2 (10), GOEA 1 (2603) TOTAL 3 (3403)
