After 14 more days of inactivity, Tropical Storm Epsilon formed in mid-October and became the season's 10th hurricane on October 20, making 2020 the 5th Atlantic hurricane season in the satellite era (since 1966) to have at least 10 hurricanes by October 20, in addition to 1969, 1995, 2005 and 2017. Curtailing their breeding activity and starting migration earlier may give the birds the flexibility to wait out a strong storm before crossing open water and still arrive at their wintering grounds on time.
