April 29 [Day 64] I started the day on the ridge but when light rain turned to wet snow at 1005 I retreated to the Valley View site where I spent the rest of the day. Rain persisted until 1350, after which the rest of the day was dry, with the temperature at the base of the ridge reaching 9C. Ridge winds were moderate westerly all day, and mid afternoon was sunny with 60-70% mainly cumulus cloud before the clouds thickened again after 1700. A single Sharp-shinned Hawk that moved along the ridge at 0816 was the only migrant before the rain started, and movement only really began at 1410 after which there was a fairly steady stream of birds until the last Bald Eagle went north at 1924. Compared to the last few days there was little specific variety and the flight was dominated by Golden Eagles, the total of 29 comprising 1 adult, 5 subadults and 23 juveniles. Again compared to recent days the resident Golden Eagles were hardly in evidence today. The forecast for the next two days is for overcast conditions with rain or snow so I shall probably watch from the Valley View site (if at all!) until Friday. 12.67 hours (728.5) BAEA 2 (432), NOHA 1 (20), SSHA 6 (98), NOGO 1 (109), RTHA 4 (193), GOEA 29 (2849) TOTAL 43 (3816)
