Résumé :	The post-fledging period is a critical life stage for young grassland birds. Habitat selection by recently fledged birds may differ from that of adults and may change as juveniles transition from the care and protection of parents to independence. To describe patterns of habitat selection during these important life stages, we studied habitat use by juvenile Grasshopper Sparrows (Ammodramus savannarum) in a Conservation Reserve Program grassland in Maryland. We used radio-telemetry to track daily movement patterns of two age classes of Grasshopper Sparrows during the post-fledging period. Sparrows were classified as either dependent (
