May 10 [Day 75] (Vance) The winds were W and occasionally SW all day gusting to 45 km/h with stratocumulus and cumulus cloud cover ranging from 50-100% and temperatures that rose to 5 from a low of -1.5C. Movement was fairly steady after 1100 and dominated by eagles with 6 Bald and 11 Golden Eagles tallied, the last of which moved at 1830. The Golden Eagle flight comprised 1 subadult, 9 juveniles and 1 unaged bird, and the resident pair was again in evidence with the male displaying but no sign of nesting. The RMERF fundraising Gala at Bragg Creek in the evening was a great success, in large part owing to the wonderful organization of our Treasurer Claire to whom we all owe a great debt of thanks. 13.5 hours (866.7) BAEA 6 (450), NOHA 1 (26), SSHA 2 (154), GOEA 11 (2951), UU 1 (6) TOTAL 21 (4079)
