The Desert Forktail is a southwestern species that extends as far northeast as near Lincoln, Nebraska. It seems to prefer alkaline/saline habitats. In Nebraska and Kansas, it is restricted to salt marshes; in Nebraska, the marshes near Lincoln, and in Kansas, the marshes in Pratt and Stafford counties in central Kansas.
