Get to know the flyways Check out North America's four major migration pathyways, known as flyways, and some of the waterfowl species that travel these highways in the sky.

Pacific Flyway

The Pacific Flyway stretches from the Arctic to the west coast of Mexico and the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. It encompasses the most varied waterfowl habitats in North America.

Central Flyway

The Central Flyway encom- passes a large portion of North America’s interior — from Canada’s boreal forest and parklands across the Great Plains down to the Texas Gulf Coast.

Mississippi Flyway

The Mississippi Flyway runs from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico, crossing the Great Lakes and following the Missis- sippi, Missouri and Lower Ohio rivers in the United States.

Atlantic Flyway

The Atlantic Flyway stretches from the Arctic tundra of Baffin Island to the Caribbean. Because it is the most densely populated flyway, large portions of habitat are threatened by development.
