Franklin's Gull Range Map
The Franklin's Gull breeds from eastern Alberta and central Saskatchewan to western Minnesota, south locally to east-central Oregon, northwestern Wyoming and northwestern Iowa. It winters primarily in South America, rarely in southern coastal California, and casually along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana. The Franklin's Gull breeds exclusively in shallow freshwater marshes and sloughs in the temperate prairie belt. It favors shallow wetlands up to 6 inches deep with bulrushes, cattails, whitetop and common reeds, preferably near cultivated lands. In migration and in winter, it inhabits sandy beaches, sandbars, fields and pastures.
