An indicator of Availability of Wildlife Habitat on Farmland was developed for the seven main ecozones in which agriculture is practised in Canada.... To construct the indicator, habitat availability matrices were developed for each of the seven ecozones. These matrices specify how various wildlife species use agricultural land to meet their habitat needs(e. g., breeding, feeding, cover, staging, winter use). 1, record 1, English, - habitat%20availability%20matrix

Bird Migration Routes.-Many North American birds come to the far northern regions of the continent in summer to reproduce and raise their young. Long summer days in the north produce an abundance of insects and plants for birds and their young to eat. Because this food is not available during cold, winter months, many birds migrate south to forage in warmer climates. These birds follow migratory routes, called flyways, between their northern breeding grounds and southern wintering areas. There are four major flyways in North America : the Pacific, Central, Mississippi and Atlantic Flyway. 7, record 3, English, - bird%20migration%20route
