Question -   Why don't you ever see baby sea gulls?  Where do they lay
their eggs?
--------------------------------------
Sea gulls have their nests in remote places where most people would not 
ever visit.  Hence, you would not see them.  However, the young grow 
quickly to adult size before they leave the nest and are brown and white 
for their first few years for most species.  There are numerous gull 
species!  Check out a bird idenfication book to see the young and adult 
relationships.
