NATIONAL CONTEXT<br />
CENTRAL FLYWAY<br />
An Expanse of Mountains, Rivers, Plains, and Shores<br />
The Central Flyway comprises more than half the landmass of the continental United States, before extending<br />
into Central and South America. When constructing a quality habitat, it is helpful to understand the geographic<br />
range of certain species, both native and migratory. Certain species may extend their range in search of food and<br />
water or due to competition from other species and predators. In terms of our national context, many of North<br />
America’s migratory birds rely on the Central Flyway’s diverse prairie and wetland habitats for their spring and<br />
fall journeys.<br />
