Species Spotlight: Franklin’s Gull
Named after the Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin, adult birds display a distinctive plumage featuring a black hood, dark gray back, and white underparts. They have a red bill, bright red legs, and a white eye ring. Outside the breeding season, their hood fades, revealing a white head with a dark smudge behind the eye. Juveniles resemble non-breeding adults but with mottled brown plumage and a dark bill.

As we creep into late summer, I think we can agree that it’s been good season. Malheur Lake has water, and the Donner and Blitzen River continues to flow nicely.
