Guerra Correa pers. comm.), and in Prov. Cordoba in central Argentina (Nores & Yzurieta 1979, Hornero 12: 45—52; Olrog 1979, Opera Lilloana 27: 1-324; Nores et al. 1983, Bol. Acad. Nac. Cienc, Cordoba 56: I—IX, 1—114), sometimes in flocks of hundreds or thousands. Elsewhere, Franklin's Gull has often shown its capacity as an inland wanderer, which is not surprising for an exclusively inland breeder. Thus in Europe there are inland records of vagrant individuals from Spain, France, Britain, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and Sweden (Hoogendoorn & Steinhaus 1990). I am grateful to Jon Fjeldsa, Ben Haase, Paul E. Lehman, Robert S. Ridgely and Claudia P. Wilds for their constructive comments on an earlier draft of this note. Carlos G. Guerra Correa, Steven L. Hilty, Niels Krabbe, Fernando Ortiz Crespo and Dan A. Tallman supplied information about gull records in South America. Todd A. Culver, George A. Hall, Teta Kain, Hugh E. Kingery, Richard L. Knig
