It's funny how the French regard that entire part as "Mississippi".

Heh, well, it's an ornithology term - the Mississippi Flyway. What they're saying is that that whole thing is the Mississippi Flyway, and there's very little mixing between, say, the MS Flyway and the Pacific, for example. |

Bird gang territories. You have to be wearing the right plumage or they lay the avian smack-down on you. |

Well, to be fair, most of that (south of the Great Lakes, at least) IS the Mississippi River Basin.  What surprises me more, actually, is that very northerly birds (in, say, the area of Washington State) actually *do*, evidently, cross the Great Divide. |
