The High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) experiment is a stereo air fluorescence detector for the study of cosmic rays with energies above 1018 eV. When a cosmic ray-induced air shower is seen by both detectors, the reconstruction of the cosmic ray arrival direction has a typical uncertainty on the order of 0.5° . This makes HiRes well suited for anisotropy studies. We present here an analysis of the distribution of ultra-high energy cosmic ray arrival directions observed in stereo by the HiRes experiment. In particular, we search for anisotropies in the distribution on small scales (< 5° ) and at the highest energies (> 1019 eV), where the prosp ects for identifying point sources seem most promising.
