Perfect Storm, Colorado Eastern Plains

May 26, 2011

Richard Stevens reports the aftermath of the "Perfect Storm" continues on the Eastern Plains. BTW, the "Perfect Storm" was mild southerly winds for several days followed by a rapid and strong change in direction. High winds started to come down out of the north, stopping northerly migrating birds at almost every riparian area.
