- Many seabirds of the Northern hemisphere migrate to South America in the non-breeding season, using several key stopovers and wintering sites along the Atlantic coast. Franklin’s Gull Leucophaeus pipixcan breeds in central provinces of Canada and adjacent states of the northern United States. It is a migratory bird from the northern region of North America that flies southwards. However, there is little information about Franklin’s Gull occurrence along the coast of the state of São Paulo. Former publications concerning the birds of Iguape-Cananeia-Ilha Comprida estuary did not mention the presence of this bird in the region. The two birds of this species were seen in September (2015), resting on the beach at Ilha Comprida. This note reports the first occurrence of Franklin’s Gull in Ilha Comprida, Southern coast of São Paulo state, Brazil.
