Lubbock received 1.63 inches of rain during the month, well below the
average June total of 2.98 inches, bringing us up to 7.30 inches for the
year, falling behind the average year-to-date total of 8.65 inches. The
heat continued throughout the month and the feeling of drought became
steadily stronger - water-loving birds were increasingly concentrated at
the remaining hotpots. The end of the month saw some southward-bound
shorebirds, waterfowl and waders were in good numbers - where they could be
found, and songbirds were, as is expected in June, pretty slow.
