May 8 [Day 75] (Valley View site) It was -5C at 0710 and rose to a high of 2C at 1100, ground winds were variable and calm to light, as were ridge winds, and cloud cover was initially 90% cirrus and altocumulus that quickly thickened to 100% cirrostratus and lowered to thick stratus after 1100. Light snow began falling at 1115 and (oh no, not again!!) became steady snow with all ridges obscured after 1135. Snow persisted throughout the day and I left the site at 1240 having failed to see any migrant raptors, although a male Brown-headed Cowbird [species #69] was a first for the season. 5.5 hours (853.4) No migrant raptors (2826)
