Hello mou-net! I'm a teacher at Macalester College, and I'm writing a public essay about environmental issues on the Upper Mississippi River. For the essay, I'm trying to do a deeper dive into researching the migratory birds that make use of the Mississippi Flyway, and I've been having trouble finding an ornithologist or bird lover who might be able to give me any leads on trying to answer it.
I'm writing about migratory birds that spend the majority of their lives migrating. So I'm curious to find out which specific bird species might be on and actively migrating on the Flyway for the majority of the year. As an example, are there bird species that spend about 1-2 months overwintering in the South; and about 1-2 months during our summer in the North, but the remainder of their time migrating between the two locations (more than about 6 months)? These amounts of time are just for the purposes of an example, but I'm curious which specific bird species might migrate for longer periods of time than they spend at destinations at either end of their migratory path. Any leads would be really invaluable! Thank you so much.
