Wilson's Phalarope Range Map
The Wilson's Phalarope breeds from southern Yukon and northern Alberta to southern Michigan and southwestern Quebec south to south-central California, east-central Arizona, west-central New Mexico, northern Texas, eastern South Dakota, northern Illinois, northern Indiana and northern Ohio with isolated breeding in Massachusetts. It winters primarily in South America, casually as far north as southern California and southern Texas. The Wilson's Phalarope once inhabited natural prairies but now is found mainly on highly disturbed mixed-grass prairies dotted with small glacial potholes. It is also found in taiga broken by moist, grassy muskeg and many small lakes and pools, and in farming country of aspen-grove parklands. The Wilson's Phalarope inhabits rolling uplands as high as 6,900 feet in elevation. Outside the breeding season, it is mainly found on inland wetlands but sometimes on saline or alkaline depressions.
