Are there seagulls in Iowa?

Last I heard, Rob, the halides in use were still of silver: but if "special" camera bodies can be plated with gold, perhaps film cans too can be...
 
Migratory routes, yes, but that is different from seagulls. I visited a friend who lived in West Virginia for a short period, Bluefield. WV is in a major migratory path for many north american birds, I saw an amazing varieties of species during that visit.

Pelicans can be seen migrating throughout the midwest.

Does this count?

We have pelicans that spend the summer near here, on nearby lakes. About 50 km west of here is a major pelican breeding ground, strangely enough.
 
We have Canada geese that have gotten too lazy and don't bother to migrate south for winter.

Or any other far inland place? I live some 45ish miles from the shore here and while in the Walmart parking lot my son asked why there were seagulls because we weren't on the beach. I explained they are scavengers and all that technical stuff, but he kept falling back on the "sea" part. So, how far inland have you seen them? I think I recall seeing them in Kentucky last year, but I really pay no mind to them so maybe I didn't.

Where do you live? Any seagulls around?

I live in Southern California about 50 miles from the beach and rarely see them, execpt AT THE LOCAL DUMPS. [foggy days seem to help them wander inland] let's face it they are just sea going pigeons or as I prefer to call them FLYING RATS
 
About 2-3km south of the Heart of Toronto in Lake Ontario, is the nesting site for about 1 million ring-billed gulls (that's the Leslie Spit aka Tommy Thompson Park for you locals). That's 10% of the world's population of ring-bill's. The noise and the stench is quite something.
