We watch a gull family as an annual summer event. It's easy to view the roof of the Met Hotel from the balcony. Yearly, parents raise young ones there. We see the entire process from readying the nest area, to keeping the eggs safe, through flying lessons. We watch 'em leave one by one until they're all out on their own.
It's a process that's plays out with regularity. There are three chicks this year. They have grown a great deal in the last week.
