Baby boom!
From scruffy egret chicks teetering on high branches to ducklings trailing behind a watchful Mallard, the Bay Area pulses with the rhythms of new life. This gallery offers a glimpse into that world: nesting Western Gulls on rocky islands, Brandt’s Cormorants wooing their mates with colorful strands of fresh seaweed, and tiny coot chicks wobbling through wetlands. Each of these family portraits is a testament to the region’s richness as a breeding mecca for birds great and small.
