February 22 [Day 3] Another amazing day for February, with the temperature reaching 9C from an overnight low of -3C, and after a cloudless start cirrus cloud provided an excellent backdrop between 1130 and 1700 before it cleared again at the end of the day. Winds were again light, only becoming consistently southwesterly after 1420, coincident with the onset of the main raptor movement. Before that time only an adult Bald Eagle and an adult Northern Goshawk had moved north, but between 1420 and 1509, 6 Golden Eagles migrated north along the Livingstone Ridge, passing over the two resident birds that were perched on the ridge (thereby removing any doubt about their migratory status!). Surprisingly 2 of the birds were immature: 1 first subadult and 1 juvenile. Between 1530 and 1712 another 10 Bald Eagles (including 1 juvenile) followed the same route, and the day’s total of 11 Bald Eagles equals the highest ever total for the whole month of February at Mount Lorette, a sum that was counted over a period of 17 days in 2005! The only passerine migrants were flocks of 14 and 20 Grey-crowned Rosy Finches flying high to the north. 10.5 hours (31.25) BAEA 11 (17), NOGO 1 (2), GOEA 6 (10) TOTAL 18 (29)
