    Default Grassland bird trip-where

    I am hoping to resume photographing birds in the field next spring and am already pondering some targeted species. Does anyone know of a destination in the eastern U.S., including the mid-west for these desired species? Using a car as a blind along roadside areas would be a plus. Thanks.

    sedge wren
    upland sandpiper

    Matthew Studebaker's book "Photographing Ohio's Birds (www.studebakerbirds.com) is a well written book with maps and suggestions.

    Jasper Pulaski in Indiana might be a good sight for you. Google it.

    Time of year is important as you well know. Our camera club will have access to a bird refuge the first week in May. It is off limits to the general public. Cleveland, Ohio.

    Hi Jeff...Not much info on US but for Ontario, Canada

    Henslow's a tough one I've been looking in Ontario for a long time..still on my list...Point Pelee, Long Point and Rondeau Provincial Parksduring migration can be great

    Sedge Wren - I've seen 3 in my life in the same place near Ottawa, but last year none showed up that I know of..
    We always see Upland Sandpipers now..they seem to be making a small comeback..

    A good place for both Sedge Wren and Upland Sandpiper is Carden Alvar near Oshawa:

    But timing is critical...Sedge Wrens sing in the spring and respond to calls, once nesting starts they go quiet...

    Good Luck on your Quest....Paul
