First Arrivals
It's early days still as we welcome spring mixed with winter storms across many regions of the United States and Canada. Keen Journey North observers have been documenting spring monarch migration.
Dear Journey North Readers,
Migration is picking up, but it is slow. More species are showing up, but only a few individuals of each. In Texas and Louisiana, more White-eyed Vireos and Common Yellowthroats arrived, along with some more Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and the first Black-throated-green Warbler. In Georgia, the first Red-eyed Vireo, Ovenbird, Baltimore Oriole, and Great Crested Flycatcher were seen, and over the past week, I have seen a couple of Louisiana Waterthrushes, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, and Northern Rough-winged Swallows.
