Upland Sandpiper Range Map
The Upland Sandpiper breeds locally from north-central Alaska, northern Yukon and northern Alberta to southern Quebec, central Maine and southern New Brunswick south to northeastern Oregon, central Colorado, north-central Texas, central Missouri, West Virginia and Maryland. It winters in South America. The Upland Sandpiper inhabits grassy open areas, ranging from sandy, sparsely vegetated flats to open, grassy bogs and muskeg. It is most often found in rich pastureland, hayfields and alfalfa fields. During the breeding season the Upland Sandpiper alights freely on fenceposts, telephone poles and other elevated sites. During migration, it frequents alfalfa fields, pastures, prairie dog towns and rarely shores and mudflats.
