The Mississippi Flyway is named for the great river underpinning the migration route followed by 60 percent of North America's birds, including the American White Pelicans, Least Terns, and Prothonotary Warblers. By restoring habitat from the headwaters of the Mississippi to the Louisiana Delta, Audubon is protecting birds year-round.
