Bird Migration

The Flyways

The flyways are flight routes that birds follow on their spring and fall migrations. Habitats along these routes provide resting, feeding and breeding sites for birds. Habitat connectivity along the way is essential for these birds to survive and thrive. International governments collaborate on a continental scale, through programs like the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, to help conserve habitat availability along the flyway routes.

See our Partners section for a list of U.S. State Partners that contribute to the EHJV’s goals.
