MIDWEST MIGRATION NETWORK

The Midwest Migr ation Netwo rk (MMN) facilitates regionally-coordinated migration monitoring and research to address information gaps in the Midwest. Although focused primarily on landbirds, the Network welcomes anyone interested in advancing the study of the migratory ecology of birds and other animals in the Midwest. For the purposes of our Network, the Midwest region includes the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Region 3)... The MMN also works to increase the survival of birds throughout their annual life cycle. Understanding how birds move through the region depends on a well-coordinated network of observers, researchers, and decision-makers to ensure that appropriate conservation actions are taken to effectively alleviate threats and enhance habitat at critical stopover sites. The Network exists to improve connectivity between these key stakeholders.
