February 24 [Day 5] (Raymond Toal) Fog partially obscured the Livingstone Ridge until 1000 when light snow began and completely obscured it for the rest of the day. The snow became moderate at 1300 and heavy at 1500 when the day’s “observation” ended. The temperature started at -3.5C, rose to -1.5C at noon before falling back to -3.5C after 1400, and ground winds were very light SW all day. The only migrants seen was a flock of 6 Bohemian Waxwings flying north at 0810. A barometric rise of 2 hPa late in the day gives hope for a better day tomorrow. 7.25 hours (49.25), No migrant raptors.
The South Livingstone Raptor Count for the spring migration of 2008 has now begun. First official day of counting began on 20th February 2008. Follow the daily movement of raptors on this blog updated daily by Peter Sherrington.
