Many of the birds were killed in the chaos, as birds flew into power lines and baby birds were knocked out of their nests.  PREVIOUS: Migratory birds die, babies fall from trees after fireworks show in Taylor This year, city leaders said they're making some changes.“This year the City of Taylor will move the launch of the fireworks display to a location that is further away from the egret habitat at Murphy Park.

This has lead to some regional air sensors showing the air to be unhealthful for sensitive groups so if you are sensitive to the fine particles, like the dust, you should limit your outdoor activities.The other "H" word dominating today's forecast is the heat. The first Heat Advisory of the season is in effect until 8 p.m. Early-afternoon heat indices were in the upper 90s to a pair of 104° readings at both Flatonia and La Grange. Today's Heat AdvisoryThis Heat Advisory is valid based on yesterday's peak "feels like" of 112° at La Grange at 3:35. In fact, La Grange had a heat index greater than 100° from 11:35 a.m. to 8:15 p.m.Late-afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms will again be possible.
