May 11 [Day 76] I returned home from the Gala at 0030 and after what seemed to be 5 minutes sleep I was climbing the ridge at 0730. At 0740 heavy wet snow began which turned to rain at 0900 when I collected the equipment and went down to the Valley View site where I watched the rain fall until 1730 when I finally gave up. The peaks were obscured all day and although the ridge appeared after 1600 there was little prospect of movement. 10 hours (876.7) No migrant raptors
