Description
A flyway is a flight path used in bird migration. Flyways generally span over continents and often oceans ...
There are four major migration flyways in North America: the Atlantic, Mississippi, Central and Pacific Flyways.
Atlantic Flyway: Stretches from the Arctic Circle down the Atlantic coast and Appalachian Mountains and into the Caribbean.
Mississippi Flyway: Follows the Mackenzie River in Canada to the Mississippi River in the United States, from Canada's boreal forests to the Gulf of Mexico.
Central Flyway: Leads from the Great Plains to the Gulf of Mexico, continuing down the Gulf coast to Central America.
Pacific Flyway: Stretches from the Arctic Circle down the Pacific coast to Central America.
Each major route is augmented by multiple minor branches that feed into major migration corridors.
