March 20 [Day 29] Winds were moderate to strong WNW-W all day with 20-90% mainly cumulus cloud cover assisting detection of high-flying birds. Temperatures ranged from -4C to 5C but again the wind made for chilly observing. The first Golden Eagle moved high to the north at 0753 (the earliest yet) and the last was at 1924: 11hours and 31 minutes later. The pace of movement was remarkably consistent after 1000 with the highest hourly count only being 20 birds between 1800 and 1900. All of the 131 Golden Eagles counted were adults. The resident Golden Eagles were again in evidence and displaying all day, mainly to the north, and I managed to locate what is likely to be the active aerie high on a south facing buttress of what we call Morin Peak. Non-raptor migrants included two flocks of Tundra Swans (24 and 12) flying high to the east over the Livingstone Range in the morning. 12.08 hours (302.1) BAEA 4 (219), NOGO 4 (36), RTHA 1 (6), GOEA 131 (1449) TOTAL 140 (1734)

Mount Lorette (Doug) The weather was essentially a rerun of that of yesterday, and the raptor count was remarkably similar to that at Piitaistakis-South Livingstone. Movement was steady between 1012 and 1939, increasing after 1600 with the maximum passage of 32 birds between 1600 and 1700. 11.25 hours (217.7) BAEA 5 (47) GOEA 134 (787) UU 1 (1) TOTAL 140 (839)
