Upland Sandpiper
Unlike most sandpipers, the Upland Sandpiper is completely terrestrial, preferring grassland over wet habitats. The Upland Sandpiper migrates to southern South America where it winters in the grasslands of Pampas for 8 months of the year. It is an Endangered species in Pennsylvania and a Threatened species in New York.
