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.
