Dear Journey North Readers,

It finally feels like migration season! Good flying conditions have allowed a plethora of migrants to arrive from the tropics. There have been two high-pressure areas that have been parked over the southern US and those southerly winds have allowed a lot of migration to take place. Along the Gulf coast, some of the new arrivals have included Tennessee Warbler, Worm-eating Warblers, Indigo Buntings, Orchard Orioles, Eastern Wood-Pewees, and Blue Grosbeaks.
