Waterfowl Migration Map
Our Waterfowl Migration Map is a unique, patent-pending application designed to make tracking the waterfowl migration simple and painless! This application takes various forms of waterfowl migration reports and discrete population information and displays it all on an interactive and easy-to-understand migration map.
To use the migration map, first select a desired species to track. Next select a date you wish to view the then-most-current reports for. Total Duck Count for the current day is selected by default.
Our database is updated regularly—oftentimes daily—from October through January, in an effort to ensure the most relevant and up-to-date migration data is displayed.
States with migration data currently in the Migration Station database are: South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana from the Mississippi and Central Flyways, California, Nevada, and Oregon from the Pacific Flyway and New York, Maryland, Delaware, South Carolina and Florida from the Atlantic Flyway. This is subject to change over time.
