This main endpoints of the flyway include central Canada and the region surrounding the Gulf of Mexico; the migration route tends to narrow considerably in the lower Mississippi River valley in the states of Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana, which account for the high number of bird species found in those areas. Some birds even use this flyway to migrate from the Arctic Ocean to Patagonia.
