The Upland sandpiper

The upland sandpiper is a large sandpiper, closely related to the curlews . Older names are the upland plover and Bartram's sandpiper. It is the only member of the genus ''Bartramia''. The genus name and the old common name Bartram's Sandpiper commemorate the American naturalist William Bartram. The name "Bartram's sandpiper" was made popular by Alexander Wilson, who was taught ornithology and natural history illustration by Bartram.
