Baby Seagull Hatchlings

Earlier this week we had to walk the roof for some construction planning and found a seagull nest with a few eggs. Trying not to disturb the nest and birds I took a few pictures of them over a 3 day period.


The first day there was one baby that had just come out of the egg

The second day he was all dry and furry. A second chick was also beginning to peck his way out of the egg

In just a few minutes all of the seagulls in the area had come to the nest to help protect it from the intruders (me).

On day 3 there were now 2 baby seagulls all furry and dry. There was no sign of the third egg hatching yet. They will have the weekend to themselves.
