GOING SOUTH
THE GREAT AMERICAN ROAD TRIP
The Atlantic Americas Flyway , which connects breeding grounds in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago with wintering grounds in the Caribbean and eastern South America , is one of eight major migratory routes — or flyways — used by birds throughout the world . It is favoured by both passerines and shorebirds , thanks to its plentiful coastal habitats , and the flat , easy-to-navigate landscape . However , some of this flyway ’ s most vital stopover sites are under threat . To combat declines , the BirdLife Partnership is working to protect chains of vital habitats along the entirety of the world ’ s longest north-to-south landmass
