Observation details
Based on review of my images from both locations, this appears to be the same individual that was first spotted by Daryl Tessen at Wisconsin Point 17 September 2012. Daryl subsequently reported two Franklin's Gulls at Wisconsin Point on the 19th. An adult Franklin's Gull was also seen by Karl Bardon and others at Hawk Ridge back on the 1st of September. This species is normally a rare migrant in the Duluth-Superior area and cannot be expected elsewhere along the North Shore of Lake Superior. On the other hand, their occurrence at Duluth in late September has become more predictable in recent years.
