April 6 [Day 45] The forecasted 70 km/h winds did not materialise and winds on the ridges were moderate WNW for most of the day. The temperature ranged from -1C to 6C and much of the day saw 100% overcast skies with altostratus and cumulus cloud. Raptor movement was slow but steady between 0858 and 1421 but subsequently only 2 more birds moved north with the last, a Red-tailed Hawk, at 1750. For the first time this season immature Golden Eagles (7 subadults and 2 juveniles) outnumbered adult (4) birds suggesting that the adult movement is now substantially complete. If this is the case it appears that we are once again heading for a low Golden Eagle count. A singing Cassin’s Finch at 1015 was the first for the season, and apart from 120 Grey-crowned Rosy-Finches there was little passerine movement. 12 hours (490.7) BAEA 6 (347), NOGO 3 (72), RTHA 2 (70), GOEA 13 (2445) TOTAL 24 (2980)

Mount Lorette (Bill) The weather was similar with a temperature range of -2C to 6C, light to moderate W-SW winds and 100% altostratus and cumulus cloud cover for much of the day. The first bird was seen at 0723, maximum passage was early with 8 birds passing between 0800 and 0900, and the last bird went north at 2008, the latest seen at either site this season. The Golden Eagle count (21 adults, 4 subadults and 3 juveniles) was the first real movement at the site since March 1^st, and an adult Peregrine Falcon was the third record of the species this season. 14hours (416.7) BAEA 2 (76), GOEA 29 (1167), PEFA 1 (3) TOTAL 32 (1265)
