March 28 [Day 36] (Raymond and Dawn) It was a remarkably calm day with winds generally 0-5 km/h in the valley and light at ridge level. The temperature ranged from -8C to a high of just 1.5C, despite sunny skies with variable cumulus cloud cover until after 1600 after which thickening altostratus cloud developed. The first Golden Eagle didn’t move until 1052, and subsequent migration was slow, peaking between 1400 and 1500 with the passage of 9 birds. The last migrant Golden Eagle was at 1641 after which movement stopped completely probably foreshadowing the snow that is forecasted for the next two days. Six of the 24 Golden Eagles and 3 of the 7 Bald Eagles were immature. 12.33 hours (397.7) BAEA 7 (287), NOGO 1 (58), GOEA 24 (2118) TOTAL 32 (2512)

Mount Lorette (Peter R) An initial clear sky gave way to up to 60% cumulus in the afternoon, the temperature ranged from a cool -18C to a high of 7C, and winds were mainly west 0-15 km/h occasionally reaching 20 km/h. Conditions appeared ideal for migration and for observation but only 3 Bald Eagles and 4 Golden Eagles (all adults) moved between 0850 and 1715. An otherwise slow day was enlivened by flocks of several hundred Bohemian Waxwings fly-catching over the river. 10 hours (309.3) BAEA 3 (66), GOEA 4 (1071) TOTAL 7 (1152)
