Additional Description: Western gull chicks
Full size at six weeks and flying by seven weeks, some young gulls leave home within days of their first flight to travel the coast with other fledglings in search of food. Others stay for months, even until the next breeding season, when their parents evict them to make room for new nests and new chicks.
