Most birds are now on the move, and moving north quickly! At least half a dozen are in Kentucky & Tennessee, two in Missouri, and one each in West Virginia, Indiana, and Illinois. Most of these are males, but a few our recently tagged females are also making moves north, with a couple in Kentucky and Arkansas, and one each in Mississippi and Missouri. Of note, LA-2024-35, moved north before all the other females, within the first week of February, into Oklahoma, and only recently moved slightly southward into Arkansas.
