Range Map for Grasshopper Sparrow

Year-roundBreedingMigrationNonbreeding

Migration

Resident or short- to long-distance migrant. Individuals at the northern end of the breeding range migrate to the southern United States or Middle America. Elsewhere, individuals make smaller, regional movements or don’t migrate at all. They are late spring migrants, arriving seemingly out of nowhere in late April and early May across much of their range.

Map data are provided by NatureServe in collaboration with Robert Ridgely, James Zook, The Nature Conservancy - Migratory Bird Program, Conservation International - CABS, World Wildlife Fund - US, and Environment Canada - WILDSPACE.
