Richard Stevens:
High temperature was 79 degrees in Holyoke (Phillips County). Winds were 7-8 mph with gusts to 17 mph.
Storms finally subsided for a day. It appeared that many of the birds waiting out the weather took off once it cleared.
Highlights were few in today's high winds as I was joined by Terry Michaels. We found a Red-eyed Vireo at Holyoke Cemetery (Phillips County).
A Blue-headed Vireo was along the east side of the Holyoke Fishing Pond.
Holyoke City Park had no uncommon birds. Traditional Holyoke hotspots such as East Gordon Street & South Interocean Avenue and the east end of Akron Street had few birds today.
Haxtun Sewage Ponds was uninteresting also.
Our birding day ended at a Greater Prairie-Chicken lek south of Holyoke. Two birds visited this lek on private land!
