However there is a small breeding population in the Bill Williams River NWR and along the Parker Strip, though there are no specimens they are believed to be an intergrade population between the nominate subspecies and brachypetera which breeds in Mexico.

Note the different age classes with several first cycle birds showing brown coverts while the adults show slightly smaller white apical spots on the primaries in comparision to birds in alternate. Given the date most of these birds are likely undergoing the prealternate molt which is typically complete, one of only two species in the United States and Canada to have two complete molts a year (see text). Copyright (c) 2013 David Vander Pluymhttps://phainopeplafables.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/164.jpgFranklin's Gull LHCFranklin's Gull in alternate is a pretty attractive gull with the black hood and pink flush to the chest. It is also one of the easier gulls to id in this plumage note the large white eye arcs, red bill, dark mantle, and large white apical spots on the tips of the primaries. This individual was at Rotary Park, Lake Havasu City Az on 26 Apr 2012.
