I thought this went out earlier, but it got sent to "drafts". sorry for the
delay!
Rick,
I don't think Blue-faced Meadowhawks are migratory, more just seasonal,
and can show up in numbers in the right habitat. They seem to like temporary,
seasonal wet spots, like a wet meadow or ditch, or small semi-permanent
ponds. Hard to "target" them by habitat. Even harder to guess where a
Variegated would show up, but this is the more likely time of year, so keep
looking.

I was at Phipp's Bend in Hawkins County for a while late yesterday
afternoon. There wasn't much dragonfly activity. Only saw three species. One
Common Whitetail, one Eastern Pondhawk female, but many Blue-faced
Meadowhawks.
Mostly concentrated in one area where I had not had a single individual
through all my visits there this summer. Is this species migratory? Was hoping
to find a Variegated Meadowhawk, but no luck.
