Central Flyway

The Central Flyway is a major migratory route used by millions of birds traveling between their breeding grounds in the north and wintering areas in the south, primarily across North America. It spans from Canada through the central United States to northern Mexico, following natural corridors like river valleys and grasslands. This route helps birds find food, safe resting spots, and suitable breeding sites. Protecting the Central Flyway is vital for maintaining healthy bird populations and supporting ecosystem balance, as it connects diverse habitats and supports species that depend on migration for their survival.
