Remember Melanie‘s amazing photos of a great blue heron, published here two weeks ago? (Follow that link if you didn’t see them the first time!) This time, she shares a photo of baby seagulls, photographed at Jack Block Park. Sorry we can’t crop it any closer, but even this size yields something we didn’t know – that baby gulls are speckled.
Wonderful work, Melanie! You can just see how much that mother gull cares for those babies of hers!
I have NEVER seen a baby seagull.
Although a seagull family lives just above me (on the roof), and the mama and papa seagull are VERY noisy if another bird approaches. Especially crows.
Those babies are TOO CUTE.
Those are Glaucous-winged Gulls. They are the most common gull around here and commonly interbreed with other gull species, making for interesting identification challenges.
Thank you for the wonderful photo. The babies are adorable. Congratulations, Mama Seagull. Are they boys or gulls?
Those are SO cute! I’ve never seen baby seagulls before. Thanks for posting!
Came across those prints on this morning’s walk Melanie – thank you for that random act of kindness.
Wow, I didn’t know seagulls hatched! I thought, like pigeons, they just spontaneously appear. (Kidding–but have you ever seen a baby pigeon?)
Sorry, comment time is over.
