Eggs and Chicks!!
By this time in the breeding season, most of the 12 species of seabirds nesting here on the Farallones have eggs or chicks. Below are some photos of adults, eggs and chicks taken on the Farallones. (There is plenty of debate over which species has the cutest chick. You can cast your vote by leaving a comment)

OMG! They are all adorable! But the little black puffball...the Rhino Auklet. That is my chick of choice.
OH...
Mikey votes for the Ashy Stormpetrel and Christina votes for the Western gull chick.
:)
I have to agree that the Rhino chick is the cutest. But, the Ashy comes in a close second because of the little tube on his nose.
I'm going with the Ashy storm-petrel. I love the little tubenose and the square head!

I think the Rhino chick is clearly the best. Who couldn't love that little ball of fluff?
