February 19 [Day 4] (Valley View site) It was one of those difficult days where the weather was never bad enough to call it a day, but never good enough to really expect raptor movement. The temperature ranged from -5C to -1C, ground winds were SW or SE generally less that 10 km/h and the upper flow was light to moderate N all day. Cloud cover was 100% stratus and cumulus diminishing to 90% after 1600, and light snow fell for most of the day with parts of the ridges periodically obscured. No migrant or resident raptors were observed, but a Townsend’s Solitaire at 1207 was the 18th bird species recorded so far this season. 10.25 hours (42.34) No migrant raptors (8)
