I have had no measurable precipitation for the entire month of June thus far. MTD is 0% of PRISM Normal, YTD is 71% of PRISM Normal, and WYTD is 66% of PRISM Normal. The soil in the non-irrigated part of my yard is very dry. The plants that are growing seem to be doing fairly well. Bloom stalks are not as tall as I recall in past years so maybe the plants are panicking? It has been a good year for trailing fleabane (Erigeron flagellaris) and the blanket flower (Gaillardia aristata) is just coming on. Grasses are starting to bloom and set seed, especially the needle and thread (Hesperostipa comata) and blue gramma (Bouteloua gracilis). Boulder raspberry (Rubus deliciosus) has been spectacular this week. I have not seen much in the way of larger wildlife, but the birds are frequenting the birdbath, and hummingbirds are happy for the feeders that I have out. No change in fire restrictions - we are basically at Stage 2 in the Estes Valley (open burn ban) but still at Stage 1 in the national park. River gauges are reporting well under historical average for this date, and snowpack SWE is not reported for my 8-Digit HUC and is at 4% for my 6-Digit HUC. Probably getting to the end of the season for snowpack SWE anyway. Much talk around town about fire evacuation preparedness and property fire mitigation actions these days.
