The first migratory species to return to the state this year was the Purple Martin. As usual, it was reported back at the tail end of January- this year in Baton Rouge- after which a month or so passed before the next species returned.
The first sightings of at least five others have now been reported in Greater New Orleans: Swallow-tailed Kite, Northern Parula, Yellow-throated Warbler, and Northern Rough-winged and Barn Swallows. Yellow-crowned Night-Heron as been reported in the southwestern corner of the state, so is probably not far behind...
