Why it matters
The Upland Sandpiper is a unique member of the shorebird family that favors open grasslands rather than wetlands, relying on its long, pointed wings for impressive migratory journeys from North America to the pampas of South America. Bird enthusiasts prize this species for its haunting, melodic whistle and the historical significance of its recovery, as its population was once severely impacted by unregulated market hunting in the late 19th century.
