	Flyway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For the Iowa State University journal, see Flyway (magazine).
		Flyway is the term for the flight paths used in bird migration.
		Flyway is also a 90's rock/alternative band from Southeastern Wisconsin.

	North American Migration Flyways
		The Atlantic Flyway may be described as extending from the offshore waters of the Atlantic Coast west to the Allegheny Mountains where, curving northwestward across northern West Virginia and northeastern Ohio, it continues in that direction across the prairie provinces of Canada and the Northwest Territories to the Arctic Coast of Alaska.
		The Central Flyway is relatively simple, as the majority of the birds that use it make direct north and south journeys from breeding grounds in the North to winter quarters in the South.
		The southward route of migratory land birds of the Pacific Flyway that in winter leave the United States extends through the interior of California to the mouth of the Colorado River and on to the winter quarters that are principally in western Mexico.

	Central Flyway Council Surveys to Manage Migratory Birds
		Charles D. Evans reported in Flyways (see References) that his first plane to use on breeding duck surveys in Saskatchewan in 1954 was a "mouse-ridden, cattle-chewed Piper Super Cub" delivered by John Lynch, himself a pioneer waterfowl researcher.
		In addition, the length of the central tail feather of Canada geese is obtained to place it in the "large" or "small" category, which provides a pointer to the race of the bird and ultimately to which population it came from.
		State and federal biologists from all ten Central Flyway states spend a portion of their mornings between 20 May and 5 June counting doves on 200 fixed routes in the Central Flyway as part of the national Mourning Dove Call-count Survey.

		The wintering range of lesser snow geese is broad, with birds nesting in the western Arctic tending to winter in the Pacific Flyway, and birds nesting in the central and eastern Arctic wintering primarily in the Central and Mississippi Flyways.
		Pacific Flyway Population of lesser snow geese (PFSG)--PFSG birds winter in the Pacific Flyway and nest primarily on Banks Island, and coastal river deltas on the mainland at Anderson River and Kendall Island in the western Arctic.
		Allocating the economic impact of light goose hunting in each Flyway by these proportions, the economic impact of light goose hunting is $7.5 million in the Atlantic Flyway, $52.5 million in the Mississippi Flyway, $76.7 million in the Central Flyway, and $9.3 million in the Pacific Flyway.

		All Central Flyway States, except Nebraska, elected to allow crane hunting in portions of their respective States in 1997-98; about 46,800 Federal permits were issued and approximately 8,850 permittees hunted one or more times.
		The Central Flyway Council recommended that the duck hunting packages used for the 1997-98 season be continued for the 1998-99 season.
		The Central Flyway Council recommended an experimental September teal season harvest strategy in the nonproduction States of the Central Flyway based on the May breeding population index (BPI) of blue-winged teal.

	EPA: Federal Register: Migratory Bird Hunting; Proposed Frameworks for Early-Season Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations ...
		Preliminary estimates in the Central Flyway indicate that harvest decreased from 160,000 to 126,000 birds, a decrease of 23 percent over the 1998 September teal season.
		In the Central Region, the daily success index in 1999 was unchanged from the 1998 index (2.1 woodcock per successful hunt) but the seasonal success index decreased 11 percent from 11.3 to 10.0 woodcock per successful hunter.
		In the Central Region, the bag limit was reduced from five to three birds, season length was reduced from 65 to 45 days, and the framework opening date was changed to the Saturday nearest September 22 (rather than September 1).

	Quivira National Wildlife Refuge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quivira National Wildlife Refuge is located in south central Kansas near the town of Stafford.
		Its proximity to the Central Flyway migration route and the salt marshes on the refuge combine to endow the refuge with a large variety of birds.
		Many of these birds are uncommon in other parts of Kansas or even the central part of the continent.

	Mississippi Flyway :: Starry Transit :: An Installation by Martha Glowacki
		The eastern boundary of the flyway is fairly distinct, running through the peninsula of southern Ontario to western Lake Erie, then southwestward across Ohio and Indiana to the Mississippi River where it follows the river to the Gulf of Mexico.
		The entire flyway is uninterrupted by mountains or significant ridges, and timber and water are plentiful, making it a significant route for large numbers of songbirds, ducks, geese, and shorebirds.
		On the eastern edge of the Mississippi Flyway, on bluffs that line the borders of Wisconsin, southern Minnesota, and northern Iowa, ancient effigy mounds in shapes of birds emerge from the hilly landscape.

	Pacific Flyway Council
		Biologists from the Central Flyway, Canada, Mexico, and Russia contribute to these plans.
		Flyway management plans are products of the Council, developed and adopted to help state and federal agencies cooperatively manage migratory game birds under common goals.
		In the Pacific Flyway, management plans generally have a 5-year planning horizon with revisions as necessary to provide current guidance.

	PIB Press Release
		The Flyway comprises several important migration routes of waterbirds, most of which extend from the northernmost breeding grounds in Russia (Siberia) to the southernmost non-breeding (wintering) grounds in West and South Asia, the Maldives and the British Indian Ocean Territory.
		A “flyway” is the total area used by populations or species of birds, throughout their annual cycle, including the breeding areas, migration stop-over and non-breeding (wintering) sites.
		This continental flyway comprises extensive large semi-arid habitats with a limited number of wetlands, particularly in the staging areas and different groups of migratory waterbirds appear to overlap considerably in the usage of important sites.

	U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service - Service Regulations Committee Meeting on January 29, 2004
		Flyway Consultants present were Don Childress and Terry Mansfield (Pacific Flyway Council), George Vandel and Randy Kreil (Central Flyway Council), David Hayden and Tim Bremicker (Mississippi Flyway Council), and Ron Regan and Diane Eggeman (Atlantic Flyway Council).
		The Central Flyway believes a regulation such as this helps achieve a goal of regulations that maintain opportunity for abundant species, limit harvest of other species, are less burdensome to hunters, and are reasonably enforceable.
		The information for flyway consideration will include proposed cuts, the dates of those activities, DMBM’s prioritization of the cut activities, activities that are not proposed for cuts, and goals/objectives of each activity.

	MAHA Mississippi Flyway Duck Hunting Wetlands & Blinds
		The Central and Mississippi flyway converge in the central mid-west due to the Mississippi River converging with the Ohio and the Missouri Rivers.
		Unlike the coastal flyways that are clearly bound by the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans and Appalachian or Rocky Mountain chains the two interior flyways share a common boundary assigned by man rather than natural geographically limiting obstacle.
		The interior flyways also contrast the ocean flyways and that the waterfowl migration movement is motivated by the region's major rivers rather than the more linear north-south coastal and mountain lines.

	Private Missouri waterfowl hunting wetlands & blinds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		From the FWS management system our best Missouri Waterfowl hunting is under the Mississippi Flyway with the line dividing the Mississippi Flyway from that of the Central Flyway being an arbitrary manmade, on Missouri's west state line, rather than based on waterfowl migration influencing geography.
		Most hunters will agree that the greatest majority of the Missouri River watershed is in the central flyway and it is the largest of all the watersheds in the United States making for much of the better waterfowl hunting to be found.
		What is ignored by the Mississippi and central flyway dividing line is that the Missouri River watershed transcends this line bringing with it the migration following the river from the north central flyway into the lower Missouri River basin.

		Strong production in the fertile swath of ponds and wetlands from central Alberta through central Manitoba is largely responsible for liberal seasons and bag limits on par with those of the last several years.
		The result, says Central Flyway waterfowl biologist Dave Sharp, was that many duck species overflew the southern prairies but nested in Canada’s central prairies, where habitat had just the right amount of water.
		South Dakota, traditionally a big contributor to the fall flight in the Central Flyway, was too dry in early spring to attract many breeding duck pairs.

	USGS Colorado Water Resources - The Platte River Program - A USGS placed-based study
		The central Platte River Valley in Nebraska is an internationally significant staging area for migratory water birds of the Central Flyway and is best known for the one-half million sandhill cranes and the several million other waterfowl that migrate annually through the valley.
		Of central concern is how the ecosystem has adjusted to changes in streamflow.
		Developing successful strategies to sustain or rehabilitate the riparian ecosystem of the central Platte River requires an understanding of the linkages between hydrology, river morphology, biological communities, and ecosystem processes.

		By dropping the special season for the west-central flyway zone, the Canada goose season would be longer in Dolores, Montezuma, La Plata and parts of Mineral and Hinsdale counties.
		The transplanted geese drew migrating geese to the area, and eventually the Canada geese in the west-central flyway zone grew into a well-established population.
		The proposal to drop the West Central Special Season means goose hunters planning to hunt in the west-central flyway zone could hunt the standard Pacific Flyway season, which runs from Oct. 2-10 and Oct. 26-Jan. 23.
