The cute, little Western Gull chicks look like small rocks, giving them some desperately needed camouflage. Margaret Lindgren recent photographed a chick near The Sea Ranch.

Here the chick is with one of its parents.

Until the chick can fly, it is vulnerable to predators. We hope all will go well for this chick.

Thanks to Margaret for allowing me to share her photos with you here. Margaret is the owner of Unbeaten Path Tours. I highly recommend taking one of her hikes, which Rick and I recently did. I will have to report on that in another blog post! To learn more about Margaret's tours, here is the link to her website: https://www.unbeatenpathtours.com/
